No, not the DH. That gets rid of an inequity that has hurt the game ever since pitchers couldn't hit.

There has never been a clock on anything. That's one thing sets baseball apart from all other major team sports.

And players have never had to play in any certain place. Even pitchers could trade locations with other players.

Also having 12 postseason teams further dilutes the reason for a six months long 162 game season.
