Lay down a bunt to the other side, or learn how to hit to the opposite field. Adjust, and show you can adjust, and shifts would end. Banning a shift reduces strategy and gamesmanship.

I agree with this however its still a business...just like the off chance someone pitches a perfect game into the 11th..what about if tv ratings and attendence went down 75% because of the shift...i would make the shift illegal to save baseball if too boring etc...again i am against it but in the off chance baseball was in danger to lose huge market share, you got to do what you got to do..not saying thats what happening now...
