    Question thats always bugged me....

    Why are there 16 NL teams and only 14 AL teams? would it kill them to put the Astros in the AL West and everything would be fine and dandy. Seriously, whats the point of this?

    I think it would make more sense to move Arizona or Colorado to the AL West, and move Houston to the NL West.

    There's no need for two AL West teams from such close proximity in Texas.
    Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a ttoal jmulbe and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

    amzanig huh?

        The reason for even numbered teams is due to scheduling. If each league had 15 teams, one team from each league would have a day off, meaning two idle teams every day during the season.

            Either that, or there would always be someone playing inter-league.

                This is why. They don't want year round interleague.

                    I think that's the main reason. If it was 15 and 15 it would be a tough to make a schedule.
