Why is Major League Baseball waiting to address fan safety?

You see the signs: BE ALERT, FOUL BALLS AND BATS ENTER THE STANDS AT HIGH SPEED. They're printed all over ballparks, even the back of your tickets. And yet injuries are unavoidable ... right? Is there a way we could make ballparks safer to avoid a catastrophic accident? Absolutely, say Yahoo Sports' Kevin Kaduk and Jay Busbee. Watch the video above for more detail, and decide where you fall on the safety scale. Heads up.

This debate is part of Yahoo Sports' ongoing Grandstanding series, in which Jay Busbee and Kevin Kaduk kick around every topic in sports.
