IMHO a 162 game schedule is ridiculous. The team in the playoffs sometimes bears only a slight resemblance to the team that started the season.All kidding aside, there’s something about going directly from the ultimate win or go home sporting event of the NCAA basketball tournament to the 162-game grind of MLB baseball that makes it completely impossible for me - and I imagine a lot of fans - to have any perspective on the small sample sizes of the early part of the year.
My solution:
1) Play only on Sunday
2) Have an offensive team and a defensive team
3) Each round of the playoffs is only one game
4) Change from World Series to Super Series
What do you think?
