If I Were Baseball Commissioner

For the 2019 season I would implement 2 new changes.

First, I would make a rule stating that hitting more than four foul balls in succession would constitute an out.

I'm tired of some batters hitting 5 or 6 foul balls in a row...it shows a lack of concentration, skill, and a waste of time.

Second, I would get rid of those "street sweeper" uniforms, with the long pants and dirt-catching cuffs. They remind me of the street sweepers with their push brooms who sweep up the horse dung after a parade.

I would revert back to the classic "knicker" uniforms, like the great players of the past wore.

Can you imagine a Babe Ruth or a Lou Gehrig or a Mickey Mantle wearing those "street-sweeper" outfits they wear today?

Thanks for reading...

I suspect the foul ball idea has been considered. However, many pop-fouls are within the playing field, and are often catchable by a player, resulting in an out.

Frank, your response has merit, therefore I will not offer a rebuttal.

@Hal Pollner
That you said this at all, indicates something.......

but I'm not sure what.........

so I'll just say, that's "big" of you!

I think they should reduce the number of games they play per season. Too much of a good thing.

 

The nerve of those vendors...charging $2 for a Hot Dog and $5 for a Beer!

I think 100 games would be plenty, but they are making more with longer season.

 

How about just sticking to baseball and keep the hell out of politics.
