There would be no summer games, because 100 years ago it would have been more advantageous for players to work on farms instead.
Players would be compensated for extra innings, due to working beyond their contracted time.
Jamie Moyer would be paid $19M/yr. for being at the top of the pay scale; Ryan Howard would have to wait 17 years to receive this amount.
Jimmie Rollins would have a 504 plan, allowing him to play with a pulled hamstring muscle.
All but 3 Phillies would have tenure, making them untradeable for as long as they wish to play.
On April 19, 2011 team budgets would be voted on by all fans.
Roy Halladay would be on the 13th step of his salary scale…as a Toronto Blue Jay. He could join the Phillies as a non-tenured, $400,000 first year player, with the understanding that he would be one of the first to be RIF-ed if fans voted down the team budget.
Avg., ERA, W-L records, RBIs, etc. would be meaningless statistics since all players are considered equal.
Manager Charlie Manuel would earn about 1/3 more than the highest paid player…roughly $25M/yr.
By 2014, 100% of the Phillies would be proficient at teamwork and sportsmanship.
Players showing unsportsmanlike conduct for 2 consecutive years would be eligible to become players of another team, since it is the fault of the Phillies coaches that they behave as such.
Players would be entitled to sit out two innings per game to prep for upcoming innings.
Impoverished fans would be eligible for free or reduced price beer and pretzels.
Wearing a uniform would be optional.
Before each game, players would be assigned bus duty or Ashburn Alley monitoring.
Pitchers with losing records could only receive additional coaching from the staffs of winning teams.
Fans in the Philadelphia region could not attend games at Pittsburgh’s PNC Park.
