Part of me would love geographic realignment, because it would bring back a little bit of the mystery of pre-interleague days. An East Coast team would only play 10 home games against western opposition, and with the time difference that fan won't see vast numbers of games from out west. So when the Pirates play the Padres in the World Series, the Padres players would be even less familiar to Pirates fans than they are now. This doesn't work as much for fans in the other three time zones, but it still works a little bit.
Hell, expand by two, realign based on geography, and ditch interleague. That could really allow for the two leagues to develop different cultures. Also, I want a pet unicorn.
I don't recommend this for every day, but I think the All Star Game and World Series games should bat both the pitcher and the DH, and be ten innings long. 3/10/30 isn't bad.
I have a non-DH preference, and I think that there is no reason, ever, for the all star game to have the pitcher hitting. Of course I'm in the camp that thinks the All-Star game should be treated as the exhibition that it is, allowing free substitution of position players etc.
As far as the World Series is concerned, the only fair way to do it, as long as there are separate rules, is to allow the homefield rules to determine the DH. Anything other than that is unfair to one team or another.
So, if your immobile slugger tweaked his ankle last night, no DH? This is kinda like allowing the home team to decide in advance of each game where to put the fences. If David Wright and Ike Davis are hurting, move the fences at Citi out. If your guy is a GB pitcher and theirs isn't, move the fences in.
