Playoff chaos is good, even if it left us with Texas vs. Arizona. But there are things the sport's executives can do to make October better.
Back in 1962, a more romantic time in baseball that included doubleheaders, complete games by pitchers and antiquated expressions like “pennant stretch,” the went 101-61 in the regular season, led by the National League’s MVP , Cy Young Award winner and a future Hall of Famer who threw a no-hitter . Advertisement There was only one problem with that team. It didn’t make the playoffs because baseball’s postseason consisted of only two teams.
The fact the World Series matches two wild-card teams that each lost 100-plus games two seasons ago may not be considered must-watch TV for you, but there’s a fascinating element to it we should embrace, not drop-kick. If you want the winningest teams to play for championships every year, what’s the point of having full postseasons? Just take the two teams with the best records and send them to the finals. Enjoy the time warp. In short: Stop whining. World Series ready.
