1969-2012 Standings - Geographically realigned divisions

What would've happened if, starting in 1969, the divisions were realigned based on geography? (especially for multiple teams in the same state)

What would've happened if the 1969 playoff format was in today's 10 team qualification format?

Come find out at MLB Alternate History and let me know what you think about your team's results.

Cheers!

I've always liked this kind of setup. What are your plans for expansion in 1977, 1993, and 1998 alignment-wise?

In terms of adding more standings, I'm trying to add more 3 seasons per week. This week, I'll try to get in 1974-1976. For the various expansions after '76 I'll try to keep everything geographically aligned based on new teams that were created. For states that have only 1 team, I realize that some teams placed in certain divisions won't make sense. For example, I wanted to give first priority to teams in the same state or teams that are very close together (i.e. Arizona and San Diego).

Please continue the feedback. Cheers!
