Things I’d Like To See

I’m ba-aack.   If anyone is still checking this blog, I apologize for my absence.  I burned out on blogging with my regular author platform and one more thing to post was just too much.  But right now I’m counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training (Feb 18th) and I’m going to kick off my season with the things I’d like to see in baseball.  Not that I will, but still, a girl can dream, right?

1. I’d like to see the end of the designated hitter.

   Let’s play
   baseball the way it was meant to be played, please and half the fun of
   watching a game is laughing at the way pitchers bat.

2. I’d like to see baseball go back to a more balanced schedule.

   Maybe in the beginning it was cool to play the arch rival team in the division, but after this many years, it’s kind of a yawner.  Oh, the White Sox are playing the Twins again.  They were just here last week.  What’s playing at the movies.  It was much more fun when teams played each other evenly and it gave a better representation of who were the best teams.

3. I’d like to see interleague play go away.

   I’m probably alone on this one, but having the American and National League teams play each other in the regular season has diminished the World Series and the All Star Game IMO.  Instead of these events being special, they’ve become just one more series of games between the AL and NL.

That’s just a quick wish list.  I might come up with other things as the season goes along, but for right now, this will do.  Let’s play ball.  Soon!
