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.

Default Hmmmm

1. Any team with a record better than another division's winner is automatically in the playoffs, even if that means playoffs with 4 rounds. No more 90-62 3rd place teams being out of the playoffs yet a division winner at 83-79 gets in.

2. Either both leagues get the DH or neither do. Having only one league with the DH is ridiculous, as is the DH itself; but since it prolongs some stars' careers, to the glee of some of their fans, so
be it. Just all or none, please.

3. Either you throw out the HOFers who were slobs, pigs, racists, rapists, drunks, drug addicts, whore-mongers, gun-runners, unrepentant gamblers, etc., or you let in Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose today.

1)2 divisions and 2 wildcards per league. Not this 3 division, 2 WC with a 1 game playoff crap.
2)some sort of salary cap, plus a DH(or no DH, I'm fine either way) in both leagues to level the playing field across the board.
3)less BS from the Dominican Republic. If they can't figure out how to keep their players honest, they we might just have to stop taking 'em..I'd rather pay an American born player, who is who he says he is, than some random guy, who in turn gives a portion of the money to the family he's borrowing the name from.

1. DO NOT let batters keep stepping out of the batters box all the time. I can't stand that. Unless there is a legitimate reason. This stepping out to tighten your batter's glove and spit (David Ortiz) drives me nuts. If a batter steps out of the box without permission FIRST, then it is an automatic strike. That will end all that goofy crap between every single pitch.

2. Hard salary cap.

3. Start east coast night games at 7:00pm for all regular season games. Can't stay up that late anymore.

I actually prefer the mental aspect of a batter getting out of the box. It magnifies the suspense of the moment. Personally, there's nothing better than a mental battle between a pitcher and a batter.

1.) No interleague play
2.) install the DH in both leagues or if you get rid of it, dont have pitchers hit
3.) instant replay, but not for balls and strikes
