I'd like to see a regular season of 150 games, with each team required to have a minimum of six scheduled doubleheaders. That should get the regular season over by early September, and the World Series finished by mid-October at the very latest.

And while we're talking about rule changes that would have a positive impact on the game, I'd like to see MLB implement an active/inactive roster arrangement similar to what you have in the NFL, NHL, etc. Each team can dress 24 players for a game, but would have the ability to have 2-3 extra roster positions for players that can be de-activated for each game. This would eliminate a few of the wasted roster spaces held by players who will never appear in a game (typically the other starting pitchers in the rotation).

Ah yes. Brings back memories of Sunday doubleheaders. And the occasional twi-night doubleheader. Nowadays I think the only doubleheaders happen when making up a rained out game.

Baseball has changed but not all changes have been for the better. Or maybe I’m too nostalgic
