Major League Baseball has sent out a fan survey, asking fifteen questions. Let's make each of these a poll, so they can be voted on and discussed individually. In order to reduce wear and tear on players, games that are tied after 9 innings will be determined by a Home Run Derby between the teams

I think this idea is even worse than starting an inning with runners on base. (And that's a very bad idea.) Let some games end in ties, and figure a way to have them count in the standings. Maybe do like hockey does.

No, no no! I would rather play a tenth inning (straight up, as in real baseball) if part of a double header or play 11 innings if a single game. If stil tied, then leave it a tie and move on.

How about potato sack races? Catchers only.

Too much wear-and-tear to the sack. Karaoke is the only real solution, here. BEST RIHANNA-SONG UP, GUYS.

Lol, there's a hilarious visual.

Only if the opposing team gets to pick which player participates in the HR Derby.

This is really the worst of all of the ideas.

It really shows the whole virtue of the whole why-don't-we-just-inject-lysol line of thinking, doesn't it.
