Questionnaire for my research paper...

My topic for my english research paper is abolishing the designated hitter position from baseball. Yes, it's as fun a topic as it might sound, at least for me. However, I need help from you, my fellow baseball junkies: I need a sample size of 10 people to take this questionnaire so that I can use it in my research paper as my primary source. I would even accept 5 as a sample size at this point. Naturally, I have a LOT of secondary sources, but need one primary source. Help, please? E-mail your answers to me (abigail.dice@gmail.com) by Wednesday, December 5, so that I can incorporate the information into my research paper that is due on Thursday, December 6. Thanks very much!
