Ok ok the last two would be great but definitely the first two.
Some good points. I have always hated the DH. Used to be, both leagues were very separate, but now, with inter-league play and one league office, that line has been blurred almost to the point of the NFL with the AFC/NFC. Each league used to have its own baseballs, offices, etc. When I was a kid, the AL home plate umpires used the big, outside chest protectors, and the NL umps wore the "inside" version, but that changed a long time ago. If you are going to have separate leagues, then HAVE separate leagues.

1. 154 game season, like it used to be. Not have the World Series start in October when it is very cold in many of the northern cities

2. No DH. If you have a DH, then the DH should be allowed to hit for the weakest hitter on the team in the starting lineup, not necessarily the pitcher (a few pitchers actually can hit). By the way, did you all know this about the DH rule (from MLB website):

Once the game pitcher is switched from the mound to a defensive position this move shall terminate the DH role for the remainder of the game. Once a pinch-hitter bats for any player in the batting order and then enters the game to pitch, this move shall terminate the Designated Hitter role for the remainder of the game.

Once a Designated Hitter assumes a defensive position this move shall terminate the Designated Hitter role for the remainder of the game.


3. All-Star game winner does NOT determine World Series home team. That's just goofy, and comes from the Selig screw-up of calling the All-Star game a tie. That was bogus.

4. Kids 10 and under either free with paying adult (one kid per one adult ticket sold) or at a discount.
5. MLB pants must go no lower than mid-calf, and sanitaries and stockings must be worn. No uni-sock or printed stocking all-in-one sock. They are called UNIFORMS for a reason. All players should look the same, not some with high cuff and some with pajama pants.
