I agree with you wholeheartedly! I don't know how old you are but I long for the days before they had the playoffs. It was the American League and the National League, no divisions, 154 games, the two winners of each went to the World Series. You had the best two teams in baseball playing in the World Series.

 

People will tell you how much more excitement there is because of the playoffs but that is a myth. In the days before playoffs, the ENTIRE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER was the playoff. There were 4 maybe 5 teams fighting each other for the pennant, for an entire month, in 3-game series, home and away. Then, when it was all said and done, the best two teams played in the World Series.

 

These 1 game playoff, 5 game playoff, 7 game playoff, will produce the hottest team, not the best, for the World Series.
