15. To save time, double the number of players playing at any given time. Two pitchers on the mound pitching two balls to two batters in front of two catchers, two basemen at each base, etc. The game is over in 4 1/2 innings.
Yeah, and we could also...
16. Bases would make pleasing tones and light up when touched by runner, helping umpires make those close calls, especially at first base.
You know the Konami code! My sour, wrinkled heart is momentarily warmed, as it always is by your blog. I'm just compelled to comment about this warming.

I didn't know it accurately, I had thought it was "up-down-up-down-l-r-l-r-B-A-start"...
Jacob agreed, but we looked it up to make sure and were both corrected.

Oh well, 'tis the thought that counts. Also, in Gradius III, inputting the original code will result in a violent self-destruction and loss of life, whereas substituting L-R-L-R for left-right-left-right makes you win. That might have been what you were thinking.
