Frankly, they don't need it. What they SHOULD do is ONE thing. The rejected 
alignment had one problem -- Arizona went to the AL West and they didn't want 
to go to the AL. They could fix that alignment with one change -- keep 
Arizona in the NL West and move Houston to the AL West. It keeps both leagues 
pretty much intact (KC moves over from the AL) and puts two rivalries into 
motion - Texas vs Houston and Arizona vs Colorado.
 BLJ> About the NFL, you make sense. They should just have 2 divisions per
It wouldn't make any sense to go to only two divisions per conference (BTW, 
Cleveland's been gone for a while). I prefer keeping the separate identities 
for MLB and the NFL. The reason why it works with the NBA is because the 
NBA's alignment has been 30 years in birth and its been basically one league. 
The NFL may be the NFL, however, it's members still identify themselves as 
either AFL or NFL.
