No, not because of the Rockies’ dreadful season. Like many of you, I’ve become numb to the mounting losses.
My brain is doing cartwheels because my boss suggested that I write about Major League Baseball’s future expansion and possible realignment as the topic for my weekly journal. Thanks, Mr. Schubert.
So I read various opinions, contemplated rivalries, considered playoff implications, played around with geography, thought about schedules, and fretted over baseball’s history and cherished records.
Why write about this now? After all, expansion is years away, and we don’t even know which two cities will be selected when MLB grows from 30 to 32 teams.
