"...a little bit of everything"
MLB is making adjustments 11/3/08
Did you watch the World Series? Probably not. Because baseball can be boring. So I did what any good American would
do and I emailed the president of the MLB, asking him to change the rules of the game to make it more appealing and exciting.
Here is my email:

baseball is boring and lacks action. while you can blame the players (and you should) why not blame the
resources they are provided with. im not talking about their multi-million dollar salaries or their jobs of playing a
game, im talking about the field, man.
the field.
it's a diamond. a diamond is nothing more than a square slightly slightly rotated. squares are boring as hell. i
mean people are called squares for being boring. why have a boring field when you can have....
a figure eight. a figure eight is on of the most amazing shapes ever. it loops and resembles the number 8. heck it
is the number 8. 8 is a cool number. but what is most amazing about a figure eight is that it is also the symbol for
infinity. infinity is a concept of forever. and forever is cool. this is why i am presenting the figure eight baseball field.

PROS:
HIGH ACTION
-try to steal second, the only thing in your way is the pitchers mound
-a fan stadium situated directly behind second base. any ball that goes into the stands is an automatic homerun.
no more lame pop up flys to center field, just awesome homeruns.
CONS:
nothing
please accept this as a way to save the sport, the sport of america. amen

I still have yet to hear back, but I suspect the President's response will sound something like this:
we love your idea. it is going to turn our sport into a 21st century festival of homeruns, exciting action, and fanfare.
we will be in contact with you and we want you to be part of the opening of this wonderful idea!
