I'm in favor of the ban. I know there's a lot of excitement when a close play happens at home, but player safety is more important than any single close play. In fact, I wish they would extend it to ban spiking the fielder at second base on a potential double play ball. Tigers lost Infante for a month last year on a questionable play at second. I don't think there's any reason for it.
