    Fixing the World Baseball Classic

    Interesting article about the WBC and how to make it better. My plan would be a little bit different.

    Take the All Star week off (WBC in lieu of All star game) in July and play a 16 team tournament in single elimination style.
    1. Do it in a either Chicago, New York or LA (Multi stadium towns)
    2. Limit Pitch counts to 100
    3. Add 5 extra slots for pitchers

    The week would look like this in Chicago.

    Monday - Home Run Derby and other All Star Festivites - Wrigley
    Tuesday - 8 Games (3 at wrigley), 3 at Comiskey, 2 At Milwaukee
    Wednesday - 4 games - 2 at Wrigley - 2 at Comiskey
    Thursday - 2 games - 1 at Wrigley - 1 at Comiskey
    Friday - Championship game at Wrigley.

    MLB resumes the next Monday.
