What if the majority wants to keep the same balls?
Sometimes the majority is wrong and 99.6 percent of America doesn't give a frick about this anyway. The people are for this aren't talking about injuries. They're saying "IT'S NOT FAAAAAIIIIIIIRRRRRRR.! WE'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"

Change the balls, bats, or both. Anything to increase scoring and increase the speed of the game is fine by me.
While we're at it, how about limiting the number of timeouts a team gets. This would eliminate the ridiculous number of times a batter asks for time-out from the ump for no good reason, and the slow walks to the mound from the coach. There are already 17 long breaks between half-innings - we don't need any more. Let's speed up everything.
Examples are making the batter stay in the box between pitches instead of walking five steps out just to re-adjust his hitting gloves for absolutely no good reason. Put a time clock on the pitchers. Allow intentional walks to be granted verbally w/o the need for 4 pitches. Allow one minute for a pitching change, including warm up pitches.
There are so many things that can easily be done, not only to increase offensive production, but to speed up this ridiculously slow game.
