Put me with the "I don't like it" crowd.
The problem in baseball is 4 hour 9 inning games. Nobody was clamoring for the rarer occasions of extra inning games being artificially shortened....except maybe the owners who don't want to pay ballpark attendants, and the secretary who has to make travel arrangements for the team the next day.
Regardless of how much money they make nowadays, I gotta think most players have an Ernie Banks "Let's Play Two" mentality, when it comes right down to it.
For what it's worth, I also hated when they introduced the Shoot-out in Hockey.
No, it's not going to ruin the game...and fans will get used to it...and it's probably somehow "for the best"...but I still don't like it.
