Was baseball meant to be played in cold weather?

Nice idea. It would never happen.

 

And yet, you still might get snow in Boston, New York Cleveland, Detroit, etc.

 

True, Oz, you might. I live in Detroit ... we had snow flurries on May 1 two years ago.

 

Yes an exta 1/4 inch spike would probably do wonders to prevent snowfall and warm everyone up.

 

Oct. 1 - Oct. 8???

And if it goes 7 games, you play 7 games in 8 days? Not sure I understand the benefits of doing that, unless you really care that much about shortening the careers of a lot of pitchers and players overall. These guys are humans, not machines, for pete's sake. It's October. They've been playing for 8 months. Giving them a day or two off in a seven game series isn't that big of a deal.

 

As if Monday baseball pages aren't packed enough.

 

If your doing doubleheaders, do them on Saturdays instead of Sundays. And if they're twi-night, you still don't lose money from ticket sales. Maybe a bit from concessions, though, since Joe can only drink 6 beers, not 10.
