That’s why I want divisionless baseball with balanced schedules. But as long as divisions exists and the schedule is as it is, there should be some benefit for winning it.
I don't disagree.
No it isn't.
At the end of the day, it's immaterial what division you play in. If you win, you win. "Better" is a subjective term - whether you're talking about a "better" team or a "better" division.
That's ridiculous. Now you're being just like Slateman. You talk as if there is no such thing as a better team or a better division.
Let's just go back to the way it was done in 1968. AL/NL; one pennant winner in each; World Series ... Voila
The Nats would've played in the WS in 2012 and 2014 under that scenario but not this season.
