1. Probably change home field advantage in the World Series to best record. 2. Do all I can to resolve A's and Rays' stadium issues. Use my own funds if necessary! 3. Put a big plaque outside the entrance to the Hall of Fame that states something along the lines of, "The Commissioner of Baseball does not control who gets into the Hall of Fame or who is not allowed in. If he did, do you think we'd still be using the election process we've got now?!" 4. If possible, which it probably isn't, make it impossible to contract a team that's existed more than 50 years. [Contracting the Expos would have been sad, but what really irks me is they considered contracting "the Twins." The Twins are the original Washington Senators, and one of the Original 16 franchises. Thou shalt not!] 5. If possible, start postseason games earlier in the day. 6. Hire people who'll keep up with what's going on in baseball, at all levels, being proactive about, you know, drugs and stuff. And finally, 7. In order to generate more interest in baseball by kids, get DC Comics to sponsor one of the leagues, renaming it the Justice League. [...Not really.] [I'd love to move the A's back to Philly and put the Rays in Brooklyn, but there's little logic behind that other than, "It'd be COOL!" and no chance of either happening.]

1070 - Omar Khayyám begins to write Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra and classifies cubic equations.
1100s - Indian numerals have been modified by Arab mathematicians to form the modern Hindu-Arabic numeral system (used universally in the modern world); the Hindu-Arabic numeral system reaches Europe through the Arabs

1735 - Leonhard Euler solves the Basel problem, relating an infinite series to π,
1736 - Leonhard Euler solves the problem of the Seven bridges of Königsberg, in effect creating graph theory,
1739 - Leonhard Euler solves the general homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients,
1742 - Christian Goldbach conjectures that every even number greater than two can be expressed as the sum of two primes, now known as Goldbach's conjecture,
