I think it needs to shift in the Fall During the World Series. And plays in 16 Nations US,CANADA,MEXICO,CUBA,DOMINICAN REPUBLIC,PUERTO RICO,VENEZUELA,PANAMA,ITALY,HOLLAND,SOUTH AFRICA,AUSTRALIA,JAPAN,SOUTH KOREA,CHINA & TAIWAN. it should start in october 20th playoffs in January and Jan 20th best of 3 championship games at a neutral site.And change the rules 1.Pitchers can't pitch more than 6 innings in a game 2.Batters cannot have more than 3 at bats in a game 3.Mercy Rule after 6 innings if the team is ahead by 10 runs or more the other team gets last chance to catch up by 10 runs the game is over. 4.NO TIES! If team heading into extra innings it must be played until someone wins. 5 NO DH Pitcher must bat too. 6.Must have 35 men on roster. |

Dude. It would be retarded to play a tournament in 16 different countries. No one would agree to fly to a different country every couple of days. Your body would be completely exhausted due to non-stop jet lag. |

US better be better then last time. |
![]() Hanley Ramirez doesn't make errors--the ball is just afraid of him. Shadez was the first man to walk on the moon... with sunglasses on. In rookie ball, he drove a ball to deep centerfield, only to be informed he had been traded on his way to first base. So, he sprinted to the wall and robbed himself of a homerun. He can turn a man to stone just by looking at him without his shades. Was pointed at when Babe Ruth supposedly called his shot. The June 24th game between the Marlins and Yankees was not, in fact, called by rain as was previously reported. Hanley had plans. And by plans we mean a date. With a girl. A babe if you will.

I like the idea of having it in the fall, and also a fan of the no DH, and of course there won't be ties. |

I like it in the spring because the players would not be as fatigued. I think that it should be held during Spring Training as it currently is but the training camp leading into it will start at the beginning of February and hitters do not need to report until mid Feb. I don't mind having no DH but playing it in every country would be a waste of money and time and like Rocky said, it takes a heavy toll on the players. |

If you have it in the fall tons of players would skip it because they're tired. |

Im not saying playing around the world all at one time.Seperate 8 nations in one area and they play those nations just like National League and American league For example North American Conferance US,CANADA,MEXICO,CUBA,DOMINICAN REPUBLIC,PUERTO RICO,VENEZUELA,PANAMA, International Conferance ITALY,HOLLAND,SOUTH AFRICA,AUSTRALIA,JAPAN,SOUTH KOREA,CHINA & TAIWAN So Jet lag would be a problem The winner from playoffs in each conferance face each other play best of 3 championship in Honolulu Hawaii at 3PM Televised by ESPN |

See the tour would be. Team Canada home sites are Montreal & Toronto..Team US Home sites are Miami,Houston and Arizona Team Mexico Home sites are Mexico City,Tijuana & Cancun.Team Cuba is in Havana. Team PR is in San Juan. And Team DR is in Santo Domingo. And team Venezuela is in Caracas. So Jet lag wouldnt become a problem. And phoenix time zone is in mountain time every one else is in Central or Eastern time zone. And everytime Team USA plays should be Televised by ESPN 2 and ESPN Deportes. NON USA games are on ESPN deportes too. |

Starting during Spring Training sucks.They should start it during the World Series.So whoever is in the world series won't be showing up to their country team.But players who team season ended without playing in the playoffs would report to their teams for workouts.So its a way to keep Baseball going even into the NFL season. Theyre are baseball fans who dont give a rats ass about football.So why not keep the sport going just a bit longer until spring training starts? |
