Many feel the same way about the DH, or putting a runner on second base to start extra innings. The rules for baseball have always been changing and evolving.

Savannah Bananas are fun. I grew up in savannah and got lucky enough to play some tournaments at Grayson stadium. No one hardly ever attended when they were minor league affiliated as the Sand Gnats. As the bananas though, it's rocking. An old stadium with a bit of charm and fun baseball. Definitely go! Worst case you get to spend a few days walking around the historic district. I love my home town.
It was an abomination the way they changed the game back in the 1890s just to appease the gayness of the 90s. These new breed of spectators fancy themselves a bunch of dandies and haberdashers. Why was 4 or 5 strikes and your out not enough for Spalding and that no food Ban Johnson? It was a more gentleman’s game as I would advised the tosser were the I preferred the ball.
Yeah, maybe. I believe after a correction period there would actually be less strikeouts. I think the game would turn more into contact driven. Often times the batter isn't prepared to swing until 2-3 pitches into an at bat. That's a lot of wasted time. If you tighten things up, I would think the batter would come in prepared to swing pitch one.
2/10 at best.
Years ago my wife and I attended a Savannah Cardinals game at Grayson. I loved that park. Years later my son and his family lived in Savannah while he was at SCAD. We attended a Sand Gnats game then. Savannah is a cool place to visit. Haven’t been to a Bananas’ game but hope to someday soon. Lots of nice restaurants there.
