Major League Baseball is considering realigning the American and National Leagues in interesting ways. I am ALL FOR THIS. I think divisions in baseball are a crime. Great teams in the AL East and NL East/Central with better records consistently miss the playoffs so that some sub .500 team in the West can go to the playoffs. [ESPN]
