The other day Hank said this (during a backhanded rip of Joe Torre):
“The biggest problem is the divisional setup in major league baseball. I didn’t like it in the 1970s, and I hate it now,”
About that, I agree. I despise Wild Cards, even when the Mets win them. I hate the division series. I can barely stomach the playoffs. Win the league, play a best of 7 and move on. Let teams finish 14th. Too bad, play better.
You know I hate the 3 divisions, but I dont see anything wrong with 2. We grew up with it, and as far as I know, unless you are lying about your age, it wasnt a problem. Chambliss HR in ’76, Mets/Astros in ’86, its all good.
