I'd rather see them move all the fences back to 450 feet or more and make them run for their homeruns more.

I just found a triple A team (or minors) plays in the next town over. I'll be heading over to their games this spring. I like being so close to the action when you yell at the umpire, he can hear you. And that's from the last row!

If they want to speed up the game they should make it a 6 inning game. Slowest game ever, when it comes to sports IMHO.

Years back Cleveland sped up the game by making the player Mike Hargrove their manager. His nick name was "The Human Rain Delay"

If they want to speed up the game, give the pitcher 30 seconds to make the pitch from the time he gets it from the catcher or it's an automatic ball.

^^^Make that 15 seconds, the average number of pitches in a MLB game is nearly 300.

Eliminate the commercials. That will cut the game time in half.
