Get rid of Walks
This morning on the Ed Norris show, a very astute caller made the observation that they should get rid of walks in baseball. The caller's theory was that if not for the walks, Carlos Pena's HR pff pf Matt Albers in the 10th inning would've been a solo shot. Thus Ty Wiggington's homer in the bottom of the 10th would've tied the game. I thought this was such a fantastic idea, I decided to look at what other sports should get rid of. Football: Get rid of the helmets. These guys are way too incognito out there. Fans want to know what their heros look like and helmets just get in the way. Basketball: Get rid of fouls. These are supposed to be real men out there. Stop bitching and just play. If there were no fouls in hoops, just imagine the added excitement. Hockey: Get rid of the ice. I want to see the skill involved in hockey, stop confusing me with the artistry of skating too. Soccer: Get rid of the sport itself. Im bored to tears. Please send your comments in and let me know what else sports need to get rid of.
