I want to reconfigure MLB as follows: [View all]

1) 100 Game season starting at the same time and ending at roughly the end of July.
2) All Star Game becomes a double-header, and is played at the end of the season. In a new twist, in game 1, the baseball players vote a normal sized roster of non-pitchers, and select two starters and 4 relievers for each team; for game 2 the fans pick two managers, who then pick teams "playground style" from those who weren't picked for game 1.

3) 24 team playoff starts.It's th best 24 teams with no regard to which league they are in. Everyone plays a 7-game series, and each series should take about 10 days
-first series is the 9-24 seeds
-second series is seeds 1-8 versus the winners of the first series
-third series is the remaining 8 teams
-fourth series is the remaining four teams
-fifth series is the World Series. It's no longer AL v. NL -- it''s the two best teams left standing. Let's do this in 9 games.

Even given that the playoffs wouldn't start until 8/10, that should get the entire baseball season done by the first week of October. Far fewer meaningless games are played August-September, and the World Series is done before everyone's interest is fully invested in college football or the NFL.
