I'm not too sure of who would want to vote and call them self a weeny, or a blonde that is clueless, both of which have nothing to do with the actual answer? For some reason, I do kind of like to use the ball. I think to use the ball, it could be considered as adding another dimension for the really good coaches who want a little "umpf" introduced to the game. With the custom players, would there be a concern of how far the ball goes beyond the exterior of the base?

At the same time, I think rules need to be universal and recognized as "official", so this might just be too much?

Just to be open minded, I did vote use the ball.
