It's interesting but the advent of more and more RSN type mega-teams in my opinion, while widening the pool of haves, may take things right where they should not go. The more haves to overcome, the less chance the have nots have of ever making it to a World Series, much less winning one. It's like the squeezing of the middle class in the current economic climate. If the middle class loses hope, the consequences for society are dire. So it is in baseball.
Well put. This was something in the back of my mind as well. Even if the haves become 1/3 or even 1/2 of all teams, having the other half hopeless becomes a real issue.
