Agent Boras Urges 9-Game World Series - Forbes.com

Super-agent "Scott Boras loves the World Series so much, he wants to make it best-of-nine - and open with two games at a neutral site."

I really like his proposal. It modernizes the event without making it worse. (In fact, best of nine would actually be better, since it would make it statistically more likely that the better team would win.)

"He would open the weekend on a Friday night with a televised gala announcing the MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year awards, and have the five top candidates for each in attendance. Hall of Fame voting would be announced Saturday, with the opener that night and Game 2 on Sunday night. After that, the Series would pick up the 2-3-2 format that's been used since 1925."
