Added thought: Whenever I get around to it, I intend to redo history a bit differently, and begin in 1901 with 2 leagues, 2 divs, 6 teams per div, aligned loosely around geographical proximity. None of this Tampa Bay in the West nonesense; in fact, none of Tampa Bay at all. With free-agency, drafts, etc., the team compositions will be moot for rivalry purposes, and therefore location will drive the competitive process--or so I hope. Anyway, heres what Ive settled on:
AL East: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, Baltimore.
AL Central: Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Milwaukee.
NL West: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix.
NL South: Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Miami, TBD.
I just cant make myself type Tampa Bay.
