The Major League Baseball Realignment Idea
I was reading Jim Bowden’s ESPN Column the other day and he was talking about his radical proposal to realign the teams in Major League Baseball. Here is what he proposed:
AMERICAN CONFERENCE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Eastern Division Southeast Division
Boston Red Sox Atlanta Braves
New York Mets Baltimore Orioles
New York Yankees Florida Marlins
Philadelphia Phillies Tampa Bay Rays
Toronto Blue Jays Washington Nationals
Central Division Western Division
Cincinnati Reds Arizona Diamondbacks
Cleveland Indians Colorado Rockies
Detroit Tigers Houston Astros
Minnesota Twins Seattle Mariners
Pittsburgh Pirates Texas Rangers
Midwest Division California Division
Chicago Cubs Los Angeles Angels
Chicago White Sox Los Angeles Dodgers
Kansas City Royals Oakland Athletics
Milwaukee Brewers San Diego Padres
St. Louis Cardinals San Francisco Giants
I actually like Jim’s idea. I think it would be more competitive and better rivalries would be created. Right now it sounds like either the Astros or Marlins will be moving to the National League to even out the AL and NL. I would stay tuned for more on this topic because some major things could be happening before to long as it regards to baseball.
