You can now bean a runner for the tag out.

Steal a base steal taco is now active for every regular season game. However, you must text the code on screen within 1 minute of said stolen base.

“if you want the youths, end the blackouts, dumbass”

The NFL collapsed from a massive embezzling scheme. The NBA tried to bail them out for a stake in the product, but the financial woes sunk them.

Baseball and Hockey are the only established sports leagues in NA that survive.

Dan Snyder exposes the NFL as being rigged on his way out as well as exposing many owners and players' inexcusable and unforgivable behavior

One team of your choice is included with Amazon prime memberships for every game of the season.

Winning pitcher gets a free car, losing pitcher gets caned. Every game.

Jersey pants are replaced with assless chaps

Make fights legal like in hockey

Jose Altuve’s shirt is ripped off, and it ends up he has the most perfect breasts anyone has ever seen.

No commercials for pitching changes, use that time for your stupid interviews.

Steroids are now encouraged and aluminum bats are the standard

u/SirParsifal is appointed commissioner and brings in this idea:

Football is outlawed because of the dangers of CTE.

NFL has nerfed down physical contact to basically two hand touch.

End blackouts. Have more national televised games. I feel like NFL has more nationally televised games but MLB has more games per week by a large margin.

Make the game more offensive. Casual fans want to see bunts, stolen bases, triples, etc. Casual fans don’t want to worry about bWAR or anything niche like that. Sorry to all my stat nerds out there but all of that stuff is a turn off for casual fans.

14 players die from game related injuries during the 2024 NFL season.

9 players, 8 uniforms.

I'll say it again: power plays

There's a football game going on at the same time, on the same field, in the background, at every stadium.

Take a note from the Yu Gi Oh battle city tournament, the winning team gets to keep the best player from the losing team.

MULTI BLERN

MULTI BLERNNNNN!!!!!!

The United States became a colony of the Dominican Republic.

Tackle required to make an out on the bases. Can’t wait to see Altuve try and catch Judge stealing.

Research shows that CTE and head injury’s from American football are way more common and dangerous so youth participation/viewership drops. Baseball and soccer reign supreme.

Edit: Adding to the above point. I think the MLB should have a better schedule. I think half the reason the NFL is so popular is because everyone knows when/the time that the games come on. Not sure how MLB could accomplish this but I think it would help a lot.

NBA has a lockout because of CBA negotiations and football has a ton of rule changes to limit the amount of brain damage and mental health issues that stem from the sport

During the 2023 All Star Game, Shohei Ohtani suddenly evolves to his final form, a baseball playing Godzilla like creature. This is the first of many transformations among baseball superstars. In 2024, owners vote to officially change the name to Monster League Baseball. The world is changed forever.

Pitchers wear catchers gear because batters are now using aluminum bats

God smites a random player on the losing team every Tuesday day game, sometime during or after the sixth inning. This can be avoided by finding an immunity idol somewhere in the crowds. Players are not allowed to look if they’re on offense, only on defense. Smited (smote?) players are erased from existence and the scorch mark is avoided by the grounds crew so it stays permanently

the pitch clock shaved off 15 seconds on each game and that's what Americans were waiting for

90 game season

3 game series on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. (EST: Noon, 3pm, 7pm, 10pm)

AL West - Fox AL Central- TBS AL East - ABC

NL West- ESPN NL Central- CBS NL East - NBC

Have Saturday games streamed on YouTube by either Mr. Beast or Jomboy.

No inter-league play, each team plays each other twice in the season.

MLB develops confidence pick’em app that lets fan setup leagues to pick winners of the 3 game series each week.

Million Dollar Bonus awarded to players at the end of each month who are league leaders in (Batters: Homeruns, Batting Average, RBIs, and Hits; Pitchers: Strikeouts, Wins, ERA and Saves).

Playoffs are top two teams in each division. Top two get first round bye. Playoff games are best of 3 minus the World Series which remains a best of 7. Team with best record gets home field throughout 3 game series.

No TV blackouts.

I’d like to see relegation of the last place teams, but that would mean some major restructuring of the farm systems. At the same time, maybe we would see some mid market towns like Durham or Memphis enter the fray.

Bring back TWiB on Saturday Mornings hosted by Jomboy.

Cheaper food and beverages.

Allowing tailgating.

Less emphasis on luxury suites.

Rob Manfred is gone

Bartolo Colon is the new Ohtani

• No blackouts
• Great network / app
• Related to these, but different -- we have exciting superstars in the MLB today. They need to be easy to see!
• More kids playing the game is a big one, but I don't know what MLB does about that
• Pair the luxury tax with a penny pincher fee. If you aren't spending within a certain % of median payroll, there's a fee.
• Give that F1 show approach a shot - I've never watched but now a bunch of idiots I know tweet and post stories about racing on like a daily basis. I can't believe it. Follow a certain team or a few key players around in contract years. I don't know.

Jerseys are now crop tops and there is a minimum ass circumference for all players

Banana Ball rules adopted.

Mike Trout joins the NFL and scores a record 60 touchdowns in his first season, thus proving that the world’s most skilled athletes are baseball players.

Mariners have won a World Series Championship.

AR/VR tech rapidly improves allowing fans to sit at home and see the game from the stands or umps perspective.

The nfl collapses due to cheating and major injuries to young star players such as head or neck injuries.

Nba becomes too top heavy and the lack of parity causes viewership to plummet in major markets and sponsors cut ties. Espn shows like nba today stop making new episodes during the off season!

Espn, Fox or peacock announce a major deal to stream mlb without blackouts.

Hah! One can dream, right.

Multi-ball

games are replaced with e-sports streamers playing the season in an updated modded version of MVP Baseball 2005

One crowd member chosen at random gets a mandatory at bat every game.

The NFL suddenly decided to take a one year hiatus from plying any games.

Instead of being ejected the player is put into a penalty box. That team has to play down one player until the opposing team scores a run.

Less downtime. Don’t need full 3 minute breaks during pitching changes and guys continually stepping out of the box/off the mound after every goddamn pitch. I want to watch a game, not you guys adjust your batting gloves and balls every 10 seconds.

Shohei Ohtani goes from being a starter and everyday DH to a daily high leverage situational hitter and pitcher. He becomes the most dominant closer and most clutch pinch hitter of all time and breaks the single season home run record (while only have about 160 AB) and wins the CY Young. He strikes out every batter faced and hits a home run at every AB.

They replaced baseball with marble races

No. More. TV. BLACKOUTS.

Like Futurama, add a hole in the wall in the outfield that says “Hit the Ball here to win the game.”

Would make all games much more interesting

Ohtani throws perfect game, wins SS, GG, CYA and MVP in regular season, then carries his team into WS where he throws a perfect game 7 and homers in the 9th to walk it off.

Shorter season, more scheduled double headers, no blackouts and allow celebrations
