Baseball's Innovation

Jayson Stark has a pretty thought provoking article up on the 25 Biggest Innovations in the Past 25 Years.

What's your guys thoughts on the most important change? The Best Change? The Biggest Blunder? The biggest non-change that should happen?

I'm actually in agreement with Starks in terms of the reorganization of baseball into 3 divisions and the introduction of the Wild Card as not only one of the most important but one of the best. Certainly without a Wild Card chase the end of year chase on average would not be as exciting. Certainly the playoffs are more exciting with an added round. I'm still mulling over the biggest blunder but one of the first things that pops into my mind due to the ease in which it could be changed is the awarding of the World Series home advantage to the winner of the All-Star game. It still makes no sense to me.

Anyway the floor is open to the experts and novices a like.....
