Allow unlimited use of steroids and give everyone an asterisk.

Allow for much more contact at all bases without disciplinary action if someone gets KTFO.

Use modern technology (with multiple layers of triangulation) to determine balls and strikes.

I couldn't agree with you more. The technology is already there. Having an unaided human (each with his own "strike zone") make the ball/strike decision is ridiculous, and I am tired of hearing from so-called "purists" who say that it's "part of the game." Why have goalposts in football? Why not just put a piece of tarp down across the end line and have a ref judge if the field goal attempt is high enough and straight enough. Hey, we can remove the hoop from the basketball backboard and have a ref decide if a shot counts as a "basket" or not.
