I remember that most of the commentary in 1994 was that this was a bad idea for the reasons I've noted. A lot of the people who felt that way have changed their minds. I haven't and that probably skews my view of it. If my Mets are not in it, I tend to lose interest these days until the playoffs and am heavily into football in the weeks before that. If we had a great pennant race between top teams, I would still feel connected to the game. Races between teams that i don't think should be in the playoffs anyway don't do it for me. Maybe I'm assuming that more people feel the way I do than actually do, although judging by front page and lead stories, I do think some national interest is lost due to the fact that the top teams are often coasting in. As in so many sports these days, winning championships seems to be about getting hot at the tight time rather than sustained excellence.

I'm glad it worked out this year that two teams who did sustain excellence are battling it out for the title.
