For those you that don't know, the commissioner has no authority to decide who can, or cannot get into the HOF. The people at Cooperstown make up those rules. All the commissioner can do is make suggestions.

I'd take the fighting thing a step further. If you leave the bench, or leave your position in the field, you are automatically ejected. This will leave the fight between the pitcher and batter.

The DH has to go.

Cincinnati plays the first game each year.

World Series games played at a time so that kids can watch it at a reasonable hour.

Do away with minor league affiliation and expand the league to 32 teams with two 8 team divisions. The minor leagues set up the same way. The last place team in each division gets booted from the MLB and the top 4 minor league teams get promoted to MLB, ala the way they run soccer leagues in Europe. You reward franchises from being run well and punish those that are run poorly. If KC wants to keep it's team in MLB, then it better start fielding a competitive team.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
