Initially I had toronto in the central. That change was fairly arbitrary and probably I should swap them and Baltimore.

Look, it's not entirely based on geography. A division with Philadelphia, Boston, new York, Atlanta, would be very tough. I not only tried for geograPhic sense to some extent but I also based it on the teams' success, attendance, etc.

With recent talk of MLB realignment I sprouted an idea in this ol' brain of mine.

3 leagues. 2 divisions in each like the old first division second division setup. 10 teams per league. Leagues are regional: created by combining divisions from current leagues with a few changes.

Playoffs: Take the top 2 teams from each league AND 2 wild cards based on record. Scheduling is spotty but interleague would be frequent. So:

Federal league: west:

Colorado

Houston

Texas

Seattle

Arizona

Oakland

Anaheim

San Francisco

San Diego

Los Angeles

National: central:

Chicago WS

Chicago cubs

St. Louis

Detroit

Minnesota

Baltimore

Cincinnati

Philadelphia

Kansas City

Milwaukee

American: East:

Toronto

New York mest

NYY

Boston

Cleveland

Washington

Pittsburgh

Tampa bay

Miami

Atlanta

Haha yeah, that's a really rational argument that isn't exaggerated! I love ad hominem attacks!
