(I'd point out as well that, back in the 16-team era, while the schedule originally called for 22 games against each opponent, the reality was that there were differences in the number actually played due to postponements. Nor was the home-away split against individual opponents, as well as for a club overall, equal either due to postponements.)

Love ya, LGO, but this ain't your best post.
You don't NEED a study to know that an unbalanced schedule is not fair. And just because baseball actually ever did something does not make it fair by default......They used to not let black men play, and that surely was not fair......

So you are seriously telling me that you believe the difference in won-lost records at home by the various clubs are mostly due to their park and how they have taken advantage of it's quirks?
