I think major league baseball should be 7 innings.

Games over quicker , more decisions for starters, teams can get rid of a lot of those worthless relievers.

Did I mention that the games would be over quicker...

I know Justin Verlander agrees with me...

Just need to get rid of the 3.5 minutes of commercials in between innings, and to have the pitchers work quicker. These guys that take 30 seconds to pitch after the ball is returned by the catcher are what kills the game, Jose Valverde being the biggest culprit.

best of 3 innings.

wam bam

double header (each one best of 3 innings) every other day.

2nd inning stretch

3 dollar 20oz draft beers

No ban on roids, fans love the LONG BALL.

Fans would flock to the games.

Tiger fan here. I start counting "thousand one, thousand two. . . " right when he catches the ball from the catcher and stop when he releases the next pitch, and he is regularly over 30 seconds. Doug Fister, on the other hand, averages around 7 seconds.

Great idea, but I don't think the player's union is going to be very enthusiastic.

I agree to an extent. Baseball's 9 innings were fine in the early 20th century when people had more free time. Baseball should adapt to modern US life.

While we're at it, get rid off the NHL altogether.

Or did they do that already?
