In my opinion, oversaturation is a problem. Too many teams playing a season that is too long.

There are 5 teams in California 2 AL and 3 NL. They should go back to scheduled double headers on weekends to shorten the season.

I agree with several posters here. I LOVE baseball, but..

-over $100 for two decent seats
-have to drive thru Detroit to get there.
-long long season; who wants to sit out there in 40 degree weather?
-way overpriced food.

Why? When I can sit home and see every game up close? I do miss the experience and still try to get to one game a year, but I miss the good old days when baseball was a relatively cheap pleasure.

Teams get half the money for two games. Can't have that.

Weekend doubleheaders is an excellent idea. When I was growing up, doubleheaders were more common and it was always good to spend a lazy summer day at the ballpark. They used to call them "twi-night" doubleheaders and the same crowd would be there for both games.

Then MLB got a little greedy and starting emptying the parks between games so they could charge twice. That kind of killed the doubleheader and now they only have doubleheaders for makeup games, I believe.

But let's say we had scheduled doubleheaders every Saturday and Sunday for the 26 weeks of the regular season. That would account for 104 games right there. Then add holidays - Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day and that's 110 games.

That leaves 52 games left to finish out the 162-game season. Monday and Friday single games, which gives the teams Tuesdays through Thursdays off (or to make up rain-delay games).

Even better, have the same teams play each other during a given Friday-Monday stretch. These are six-game series.

I think that would bring a lot more interest into the game as opposed to the mind-numbing monotony of the MLB season we see today.
