Things that work in one sport, that wouldn't in another

I'll explain this one. This thread explores things that would work in one sport, but not in another. Here goes.......

-----

Baseball played on an artificial surface not colored green. Imagine, a blue playing field! (This in reference to a couple college football fields being in other colors than green).

Anything more? This is all I can think of right now.

Football being played with a spherical ball.

An ice rink in football/soccer. Although that would be hilarious to watch.

There's a game played on ice called bandy, that I believe is similar to soccer.

Instant replay in baseball.

It's pretty much ice hockey with more players, a soccer pitch sized rink, and a ball. I believe it predates hockey.

But an actual soccer game attempted on ice would be funny to see.

Padding for players (other than catchers) in baseball.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Why it "wouldn't work" I'm not comprehending... it'd look silly and unconventional, but it'd "work" from a logistical perspective.

Now something that wouldn't "work" terribly well: reducing the circumference of a basketball goal to one inch greater than the diameter of the ball. Making baseball bats out of balsa wood. Playing baseball during winter months outdoors.

Logos on the front of jerseys. Clearly a hockey only thing. The attempts to duplicate it in basketball and football produced some really horrible results.

The Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets say otherwise.

My contribution would be stirrups in the NFL. It's a baseball thing.

That last one: You haven't heard of the Carribean Winter Leagues, have you? That idea could only apply to colder climates.

Fighting in basketball.

Power plays in... any sport but hockey.

Goalies in basketball.

Coaches coming out of their areas to argue calls for minutes at a time in any sport other than baseball.

A couple of these shouldn't be allowed in any sport, but seem to be accepted for some reason.

Dominicans in anything other than baseball.

Also, midgets work really well in pro wrestling but probably wouldn't be good in the NFL or NHL.
