Interesting article on ESPN 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 (or 90)
3. Add 6 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.
