If I Were the Baseball Commissioner:

I thought about writing an entry on the meaning of sin, but I couldn't quite bring myself to do that on a Monday morning.   We'll get to that later.

 

If I were baseball commissioner, I've already said that I'd give home field advantage in the World Series to the team with the best regular season record.

 

If I were baseball commissioner, I'd do away with the designated hitter.

 

If I were baseball commissioner, I'd do away with the wild card--even though I realize that's the only way my Braves will get in the play-offs this year.  I'd divide the leagues into four four-team divisions like the NFL has done.  (Yes, I know, that would necessitate adding two more teams, but that will happen sooner or later, anyway.)  I'd probably keep the schedule slightly unbalanced, so that a team would still play more games with teams in its division.  And if I were baseball commissioner, in order to facilitate the new divisions, I'd probably do away with inter-league play.

 

What do you think so far?  Are you ready to let me replace Bud Selig?
