The Stark Twilight, II

By the way, here are the current results for the ESPN poll reflecting Stark's rule changes. Note that the top two, the only ones supported by over 50% of voters, are not rule changes. And this is a poll in which 40% of those polled bothered to vote for banning thunderstix. Even 6.7% voted for the blue-skying designated fielder.

What about Charlie O. Finley's orange balls (excuse me?) and designated runner?

Which of the following MLB rule changes would you support?

67.5% Making batters stay in the batter's box
61.3% Disallowing the 'phantom tag'
50.0% Instituting instant replay for some calls
42.8% Shrinking the September roster to 30 (instead of 40)
40.2% Banning 'Thunder Stix'
38.4% Limiting managers and coaches to five mound visits per game
29.0% Getting rid of the 'runner's box' on the first-base line
28.6% Allowing only three pickoff attempts per runner
12.5% Eliminating the out-of-the-baseline rule
6.7% Adding a 'designated fielder' (who doesn't bat)
