Years ago, on the Dan Lebatard show they were joking about ideas to spice up baseball---trampolines at the warning track, a most, silly ideas like that, and one of the ideas was the Golden-At-Bat, exactly as Mafred described it. He's stealing ideas to improve baseball from comedy bits. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, you are only the 2nd worst commissioner ever now.
FU Manfred!
