Baseball Rescheduling
Tired of interleague play? Angry at the awful schedule this year? Then check out this MLB realignment plan: Five divisions, NFL-like rotating schedule, no interleague. Interesting, 5 baseball divisions [Baseball Prospectus].
What happens to the Designated Hitter? Would the All-Star Game be meaningless again?
How about limiting interleague to two 4-game series per year w/ mandatory WS rematch; return to 154 games w/ 76 division games, 70 league games plus 8 interleague games; Require pitcher’s to put on dress when issuing an intentional walk; and place landmines in the outfield?
So STFU Chipper Jones, you fucking gator. Here is a bit more from the Prospectus:
How do we arrange the thirty current teams into five divisions? In my opinion, the divisions should accomplish two things:
- Keep ancient rivalries intact.
- Reduce travel distance as much as possible.
