The news reported yesterday the A-Rod signed a 10 year contract worth $275 million. That's $27 million per year to hit a ball and run around bases. Husband, who is a law enforcement officer, and I were discussing this. Husband gets like $40 K a year and has the potential to get seriously injured, or killed. I don't think A-Rod is likely to die during a game, so husband and I thought of some ways to make pro games more interesting and give the players some incentive to earn that paycheck. Here's some of our suggestions:
Randomly exploding balls -- this can be for baseball, football and basketball
Randomly exploding bases -- baseball
Camouflaged pits in the field -- for baseball and football
Wrist bands with mild electrical shock randomly given by the commentators -- baseball, but this would also work for football by putting the electrodes in the pads
"Spectator "plants in the stands with paint ball guns firing projectiles at the players
Thoughts anyone?

As long as the players are re-doing biology, it seems a simple thing to re-do the rules. I've always like the idea of the batter being able to charge the pitcher maybe, say, twice a game. Keep everyone on edge. Or just yell "fore" once per game and pull a ball out of your back pocket and get a free fungo hit.
Exploding bases though, that would make for some great high light film. I like it.
