Why Is Relegation/promotion Every 4 Years?
Baseball isn't like soccer or other sports. It takes time to get a winner together and a fluke season can happen, sure, but...if a team has the talent to sustain success, then its more likely they'll do it over a four year period.
What we didn't want, is to see teams moving up and down all the time to the point where you couldn't tell who was where. That'd be annoying.
So, this way, it ensures that we can monitor it better, it'll make for a better story and every four years its adds a new dynamic to the season, to the standings and the schedule.
So, the next season that will determine promotion/relegation for the following year is 1967 (for the 1968 season).
