This is tangential to the topic of the post, but I feel like baseball would be so much better off with an expanded postseason structure. As it stands currently, 10 out of 30 teams make it, but really it's only 8 of 30 since 2 teams are eliminated after the 1-game playoff. But, adding the 1-game wildcard playoff definitely gives more fans hope, so that's good. But, why not open it up even further and make it the top 8 teams in each league? You could take the first and second place finishers in each division and then two more wildcards to make 8. Then you have a tournament. And oh, by the way, you get rid of some regular season games in September as well, so you don't have quite as many games where bad teams play in empty stadiums.
