[VIDEO] Maybe These Spiked Doors Really Could Reduce NYC Subway Train Delays?

The MTA is always trying to make subtle improvements that will decrease New York City subway delays and efficiency. This video from The Farce Report introduces a new idea to stop delays: Door Spikes. I know it's a parody video, but maybe something like this could actually work?

You see, the biggest problem is the amount of people shoving themselves into the cars, and most of the time, the commuters not fitting, which results in the doors being blocked. Or the doors are closing and one more person tries to put their arm through to hold the doors and get inside. It happens all the time and causes major delays on traffic. Thankfully the MTA has thought of the perfect solution.

Professional baseball pitcher Satchel Paige is considered one of the all-time greatest pitchers in the history of the sport. He started playing before Jackie Robinson, in an era before black players were allowed in the big leagues, bouncing around the Negro League from team to team every year. In 1941, he was on the New York Black Yankees (yes, that was a real team name) playing in Harlem. This great vintage photograph shows Paige sitting on a Harlem street in that year.
