1) tie: no jewelry/beer price cap
2) let the pitchers retaliate (brush-backs ala Gibson,Drysdale)
3) genuine salary cap without the Yankee loophole

[deebro041]

1: No jewelry whatsoever on the playing field
2: Less money, more incentives
3: Move game starts an hour earlier(more day games)

Dan, I forgot about that one - it's a biggie for me. I can remember running home from school to catch the start of the '68 World Series games. You played during the day and you slept at night - it made perfect sense.

1) eliminate the DH. Don't you think that doing this would reduce the pressure on position players to perform like DH's (and therefore reduce incentive to use PEDs? just a thought...may not be terribly bright, but it occurred to me and there it is)
2) salary cap would be nice, but I would be in favor of any move that resulted in players moving between teams less,...the resulting increase in actual rivalries might be fun to watch
3) the league that wins the All-Star game no longer gets home field advantage for the World Series, but has the option of sending its actual All-Star team to represent it in the World Series instead of the League champion. Every player in the league that wins the World Series takes home $1 million. The desire to make the All-Star team would be insane!

I really don't see why these things can't happen.

Get rid of the DH
Do away with day/night doubleheaders
Have more day games

[FUBAR]

1. get rid of the DH
2. Put Pete Rose into the HOF
3. do away with the whole PED suspensions. If these guys are dumb enough to take them and ruin their life for my entertainment, so be it.

Don't imagine my suggestions will go over well with some, but it is all in good fun to dream.

1. Instead of a single DH, go to a 3 DH system where the 1,5 and 9 batters are DH's.
2. Allow DH's to play till 55. Why should they be put out to pasture because they can't play anymore. Corporate America allows it........
3. Only DH's should be allowed to take PED's. AND HGH.



Okay.....seriously.....
1. Ditch the DH (low hanging fruit)
2. Actually re-evaluate 19th and early 20th century guys for the HOF. If Alomar's in, so is Pete Browning and some other guys. And Rose.........
3. Do something about escalating salaries....I like the more incentives and less direct salary route.

1) Pitcher must throw ball within 14 seconds
2) Batter must not leave batters box to walk around and play with his glove
3) Use a camera behind home plate instead of in centerfield most of the time to show the game on tv.

The current rule is 12 seconds with no runners on base, I think it is in rule 8.1
