Wall Street Journal, Baseball Needs Its Own ‘9-9-9’ Plan:

Toggling between politics and baseball the other night, we heard a lot about candidate Herman Cain’s signature tax proposal, which includes a 9% individual flat tax, a 9% business flat tax and a 9% national sales tax. So we had a thought: Doesn’t Major League Baseball need its own 9-9-9 plan? … With apologies to the Cain campaign, here are the nine best proposals for planks in a 9-9-9 platform to fix baseball. …

1. The 99-Game Limit
2. All Kids’ Tickets: $9
3. Pitchers Get 9 Reviews
4. The 9-Pitch Minimum
5. All 9 Fielders Bat
6. The Poor Get 9% More
7. No. 9 to Cooperstown
8. Pitch Every 9 Seconds
9. Playoff Games End by 9
