Well, Mike, my original post for a Double A World Series called for
all three leagues to take part, but it wasn't posted, as far as I
know, until lately, because, unfortunately, our moderator, and I'm
not blaming him, was asleep at the switch!

Here's my idea over again:

The Champions of the Eastern, Southern, and Texas Leagues, in a round-
robin tournament to decide the Champion team in AA Baseball.

Here's my layout:

Game One - Eastern vs. Southern
Game Two - Southern vs. Texas
Game Three - Texas vs. Eastern

In the event two teams should be at the top at the end, or, Athena
forbid, all three teams are identical (1-1), then we determine on
this basis:

Total number of runs scored
Multiply by 100
Divide by total number of runs allowed

Using this form of percentage, the top two teams would advance to a
one-game playoff, with the winner being crowned Double-A Champions!

The reasons I chose to play it at Prince George's Stadium in Bowie,
Maryland were as follows:

One - it holds 10,000
Two - I have a brother in nearby Davidsonville, Maryland

Let me know what you think of this idea.

Hope to see you at the old ballpark! Have your popcorn and soda
ready!
