People who think baseball is boring aren't going to suddenly not think baseball is boring because of any (within reason) rule change MLB could make. As a friend of mine put it, if you can't watch soccer for 20 minutes without wanting them to be able to use their hands and tackle each other, then you won't watch soccer. That doesn't mean it has to change. (An extreme example, I know.) You said there's nothing baseball can do to make it appealing to people who don't like it. I think there are things baseball can do to win over some of these people. Eh, I agree with him on this. Think about how lame hockey is and how much of an uphill battle it would be to give a horsefeathers about it.
