I'm a baseball guy.
But here are a few tweaks I'd make to Major League Baseball if Proud to be Your Bud Selig ever asked my opinion.
Start every weekend World Series game at 1 p.m. Start the weekday World Series games at 7.
Eliminate the designated hitter.
Trim interleague play back to one three-game series against a team's geographical rival.
Impose a team salary cap and a minimum team salary.
Instruct umpires to call the strike zone the way it is written in the rule book. More strikes will translate into a faster game.
In the World Series, give the team with the best regular-season record the home-field advantage.
Make it mandatory for home team players to sign autographs after batting practice.
Have a $5 bleacher seat in every park. Also have a "family section."
Have one minor league type event (like the dizzy-bat race) each night.

Great list, Tom.
Getting rid of the Designated Hitter should be the rallying cry of every red-blooded American!
I would get rid of interleague play altogether and make it a requirement that the Reds always gets to play the first game of the year.
