Toronto's attendance would also improve as they become more competitive. Toronto also has a history with Philadelphia and Atlanta.

Interesting suggestion. Though I think attendance will go down because when NY and BOS come to town, that's when the Jays make their money (which is why this year those games are at a premium). It would hurt at first as the Jays would lose a lot of revenue, but may be better for the game. I personally don't like the idea of pitchers batting. It's only humorous the first couple times, but really they don't even try and it gets really boring when the 8th guys is walked to get the 9th guy who happens to be the pitcher. The art of having a pitcher bat is long gone and really should be taken out.
