    I’m thinking there should just be home plate and second base, and the runners run back and forth. And the pitchers would have to bounce the ball. And they could stand up little sticks on home plate and the pitcher, who is now more of a bowler, would try to knock them down. Since we’re experimenting.

    And we should give this game a different name, something like an insect maybe? Grasshopper sounds like a good name for this game.

    All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

    Good idea. How about “Cicada”?

    For those of a certain age, hop into Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine and travel back 55 years to the Mad Magazine game - 43-Man Squamish:

    It makes good sense. 10 team divisions. Hopefully they can make it even games played against all teams home/road.
    Only 1 WC team unfortunately playing team with best record winning division. Best of 7 first round not 5.
    No DH. 30 man rosters to account for some of the DH you will have to play.
    No more than 14 pitchers. The ones who don’t make the cut play inter squad games with other minor leaguers close enough where if needed, they can be called up.
    I’m taking this seriously.
