Cricketing Baseball

I'd love to see baseball try a slight cricket approach to the structure rather than alternating three outs. A 27-27 game would be interesting (should be higher scoring for sure) but a game of 9s could be perfect -- i.e. three 9-out innings.

    i would like to do away with forceouts. runners could circle the bases any direction they wanted, and you can have multiple baserunners per base.

    That would in no way make baseball more like cricket.

    i have little idea what would make baseball like cricket, other than involving indians and making the games a week long (hi-oh!).

    chaotic baserunning is what *I* want from baseball. there aren't enough collisions for my tastes.
