Baseball stadium blacklisting

One of the problems with baseball are teams that do not participate in away games, instead only hosting games, forcing everyone else to compensate for the slack by playing an inequitable share of away games to maintain game flow. And let's be honest, everyone would rather host games than play away games. However when people refuse to participate in their fair share of away games, they're making others labour to improve their own turnover. It's selfish behaviour and the baseball community needs a means to discourage it.

I suggest empowering players with the ability to blacklist a nation's stadium, preventing one's own team from automatically playing at a blacklisted nation's stadium (hosted game) when one hits the "Play Away Game" button. Blacklisting would specifically work one way, preventing one's own team playing at a blacklisted baseball team's stadium, but not prevent that baseball team playing at one's own stadium. This will result in the ability of the baseball community to essentially quarantine host-game-hogs, hopefully pressuring them to adopt a more equitable approach to baseball. They are still capable of playing at other nation's stadiums, and as such can utilise this to redeem themselves in the baseball community. As it is mutually beneficial to have more participants in baseball, it will make sense for the baseball community to un-blacklist reformed nations.

This suggestion makes sense in that it is fair to argue that a nation would know where its baseball team is flying off to play, and that if one did not like that nation they may choose not to send their baseball team to play there.

I would also request that the specific number of games that a baseball team plays away and hosts are tracked and the ratio of away games to hosted games is featured on that baseball team's profile for everyone to see. This will help players identify host-game-hogs and enable players to blacklist accordingly.
