In order of priority:

1) Find a way to assure that no future commissioner will ever ever expand the playoffs beyond the current 4 teams per league. Protect the regular season, which means something in baseball.

2) Mandate each team have a minimum number of games on free TV.

3) Minimum number of double-headers per year, and require that they have to be back-to-back. No more of this day-night to double the gate. When I was a kid, the only Tiger games we went to were double-headers b/c it made it more worth the 3 hour drive.

4) No more DH. Require more thinking and strategy in addition to just the pure power skills. Baseball will never compete with football or even basketball on pure athleticism, so it should empahsize the thinking and strategic parts rather than minimize them. Expand rosters by 3 or so to allow teams to have more situational specialists.
