Major League baseball is talking about realigning its teams into three divisions because of the bullshit corona virus. They say it will cut down travel and the season will start in July. Doing away with the American and National leagues the three divisions will look like this:
EAST
- New York Yankees and Mets, Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins
WEST
- Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners
CENTRAL
- Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers
Why do we need to do this? Why do we need to do away with the history and tradition of the game?
What will this do the statistics? Why WHY WHY!!!!!!!!!!
This is the worst idea in the history of the world. If they are going to restart just do it the way we have always done it. They are talking about nobody in the stands so what does it matter?
The Babe is rolling over in his grave.

Baseball - didn't that used to be something?|
I didn't leave baseball, baseball left me. What will this era be called when people look back in a thousand years? The age of stupid? Devo was right, we are devolving not evolving.

The Viral Years? Our Undoing? The Age of Regression or Benightment?
What comes up when I look up the opposite of Enlightenment?
Nescience
Nescience--Noun: the absence of knowledge; ignorance, especially of orthodox beliefs.
(philosophy) The doctrine that nothing is actually knowable. The state of not knowing.
Though not a word I knew or heard before, I like the definition and dull mush sound of the online US pronunciation.

If we're talking traditions, let's get rid of inter-league games and the playoffs.
PS I think this has more to do with money than anything else.
Baseball quit me when they went on strike in 1994. I could not abide a bunch of people being paid huge sums of money playing a kids' game claiming they were "labor".
The NBA quit me when "traveling" became what they do to get to the court instead of what they can't do on the court.
The NFL keeps trying to quit me, but if they did I'd have to do chores on Sundays year round.
