Maybe they should go with shatter-proof plastic bats and whiffle balls so no one gets hurt.

Not as dumb as it sounds.

The problem I have with metal bats is that it has turned even the weakest kid in Hank Aaron Jr. and amateur baseball into a home run derby.

The solution is to “de-juice” the ball so the game plays as it did back in the day when wooden bats were the norm. Heck, golf does testing to prevent super-hot balls from warping the game, why can’t baseball do the same thing?
