Good point, Norm. I guess MLB created something else for SABR and the Elias Sports Bureau to separate out. You will have to have, say, X number total home...

Michael-    No. Jim Baker and I have had this discussion before.  I strongly support expanded interleague play which would allow MLB to correct the...

I like the wild card, I like some measure of inter-league play, but I do not like the unbalanced divisions (only four teams in AL West and six in the NL...
