17. Baseball already has a golden bat rule.

It’s called a pinch hitter.

You want to send up your best hitter at a key moment in the game, keep him on the bench, ready to pinch hit. Letting someone already in the game bat out of order… No. Just no.

The idiots pushing this rule change are doing it to enhance gambling opportunities. F* that!
