....by rubbing it with soil, rosin, sandpaper or other such foreign substance.

Since when is soil a foreign substance?

What about foreign substances in the player rather than on the ball ... Barry?

Should they fall into either a dugout or into the stands after making a legal catch, all baserunners will be allowed to advance one base. ? ?

I don't see why they should be allowed to advance a base.

A Pitcher with a ten million dollar per year contract (a starter) will appear in about 33 games and throw an average of 100 pitches per game. That comes out to about $3300 PER PITCH! An intentional walk goes for about $12000 in the majors these days and they are worried about a little Vitalis on the ball? I'm more concerned about the $50 tickets, $6 beers and juiced up hitters. Give me AAA ball every time!

Why didn't they get rid of the "designated hitter" BS?

"automatic 10-game suspension levied on any player found to have defaced the ball by rubbing it with soil, rosin,"

A pitcher rubs his fingers with rosin.
He picks up the ball.
Rosin gets on the ball.
Automatic suspension?
