It is somewhat amazing fans will embrace actual game-altering changes to the game, like specialized bullpens, DH's (but in one league only!!!), 3 batter minimums, fouls balls as strikes, foul poles and no more "last seen fair", 162 game schedules, free agency, mound visits, banned pitches, instant replay, etc. And fans are accept it. But someone proposes improving the ball and strikes calling, and suddenly it's the end of the game as we know it..
