Your rule changes require the invention of a time machine. You would have to go back to the '70s or earlier and stay there.

There are some other changes that would, sadly, require an ability to time-travel. For major-league baseball, I would like to get rid of playoffs--let the team with the best record win the pennant. I would also like to do away with interleague play. The season should be shortened--no baseball after Halloween--and we should bring back the organists who have been replaced with cacophonous rock music piped in over the PA system.

I agree. If 154 games isn't enough to figure out who won the pennant, how many are? Interleague play is the baseball equivalent of shacking up. The drama of Mickey Mantle facing Sandy Koufax is much, much greater if they never faced each other before.
