Finish the line with something you would do to improve the game of baseball. I have two suggestions.

I am a traditionalist when it comes to baseball. However, it is time to synchronize the rules of baseball so they are the same in both leagues. Since the National League is the only professional league that does not have the DH, that needs to be changed. I prefer pitchers batting. But that is not going to change. It is ridiculous for two leagues in the same sport to have different rules. It's time to put the DH in the National League.

Secondly, I want to take a rule from the NHL and place it in major league baseball. I am tired of managers or players going off on tantrums once they are thrown out of a ballgame. It is childlike and ridiculous. I just saw one more tirade the other day by a minor league manager after he was ejected. It is a terrible example to be shown. So if I were commissioner, whenever a player or manager is tossed from the game, he must leave the field immediately, just as a hockey player must do when a penalty is called on him. Tantrums are for 9 month old babies, not 55 year old babies.

How about telling me what you would do to help out the game of basbeall.
