i remember selig's proposal from the papers in the months before the 'three-division' alignment was proposed (which i absolutely detest btw). selig's plan was indeed radical. it would have been a total disolving of the traditional leagues in favor of geography and rivalries. if i recall correctly, the mets would have been in the same division as the yankees, red sox, phillies, and expos.
i gotta say, now that the walls have been broken down aka interleague play and everything, i would be in favor of such a radical restructuring. especially since i hate the division the mets are in. i grew up hating the pirates, cubs and cardinals. the braves were some mysterious team in the nl west. while i certainly hate the braves now, the marlins and especially the expos provide no juice because those teams have absolutely no fan base, so watching a road game in their stadiums is like watching a spring training game.
perhaps to strike up an old argument on the schedule, i demand more games against the cards, cubs, pirates, dodgers, astros and giants.
