The last vote was weird for a variety of reasons and I'd like to do another vote. Our ownership has changed a lot since the last vote.
This isn't a vote for realignment, because at this point, I think expanding the league would be a bad idea just due to the lack of pitching (or maybe a good idea to thin things out more?)
Divisional realignment seems sticky to me, at least at this juncture, especially without expansion of teams.
Anyway...I'd like to get a pulse on what current owners would like to do regarding playoff expansion starting in 1980.
Your choices are:
1) No change: Maintain the status quo of league champs only in the playoffs.
2) Top two teams in each league: One wild card in each league, advances to an LCS, with the winners of a best-of-seven LCS advancing to a best-of-seven FOOL Classic. This was the FOOL standard from 1961-1963.
3) League champs plus the top 2 record teams: I believe it's possible with custom playoffs, to make the two wild card teams the two teams with the best record irrespective of league. However, with no interleague play, might that not be fair? You all debate that.
