- NachoBusiness, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8After the game, there will be a quiz distributed to all persons sitting in luxury boxes. Sample questions will include "Who was the starting pitcher for the home team?" and "Who scored the go-ahead run in the 8th inning?" Failure to earn a passing grade will result in the revocation of your luxury box access, which will be given away by lottery to fans who actually come to watch the game.
- se7en11, on 07/02/2008, -0/+14Rule #25: All fonts with be easily readable. (my eyes are still hurting)
- brandonchicago, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Dugg for not throwing back a home run ball in any field EXCEPT Wrigley. And for no DH. Pitchers, if you're on the field, you get your asses up and bat. None of this half-inning *****.
- vsujohn2, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3#24 is actually a rule that REALLY should be implemented. If you committed the error to get the guy on base and he scores, you earned it!
- vat0r, on 07/03/2008, -3/+2I'm not even looking. There's already enough rules to remember if you ask me.
- yourmightyruler, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3Sushi? At a baseball field? What has this world come to?
I like the $2 hotdog rule. - Crosshare, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2They forgot the most important one: No more timeouts during an at bat. Especially to adjust your batting gloves. Once you step in that box, you sit there and take your swings like a man.
- mysticfury, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3Rule #25: Make it all on one page.
- JAK2112, on 07/03/2008, -1/+2#25: Lou Piniella and Bobby Cox are exempt from being tossed from games until they argue with an ump for the third time. The more action the better. They are also required to have a fistfight with each other when the braves and cubs play each other.
- db0255, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1#26. Aluminum bats, fungo bats, clubs, 5 irons, tree trunks, and pirate peg legs can now be used at the plate.

If you have never been to the home ballpark of your favorite team, you are a considered a fairweather fan and therefore can be stomped into the ground.
