That doesn't explain why you have so many teams switching leagues. It's not even set up east-west so that many swaps is really unnecessary. It's based on geography, hence the renamed divisions. Sorry for confusing you. Maybe this pill is too "radical" for some to swallow? The "NL" stretches from coast to coast. Plus you have 17 teams in one league and 18 inthe other. Doesn't even fall under the reasons of the current 16/14 split. Seems like you just randomly made up teams and alignments. Damn, you're right. I totally forgot the Reds. How did that happen?
