Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2359586, member: 289"] I guess it's all about what you value more: more teams in the playoffs and therefore more fans of mediocre teams interested or reserving the playoffs for the teams that have proven they belong there by winning pennants and keeping the general sports fan interested through August and September with a crescendo into the post season instead of going to the back pages for a couple of months. There also the cold weather baseball issue, which this year has been resolved by having Houston and Los Angeles in the Series but obviously it isn't always going to be that way. . I think if we'd kept the 4 division concept the fans would find it satisfactory and there would be no big movement to change it. The 6 division set up with wild cards was just created because the networks wanted more playoff games. [/QUOTE]
