MLB needs LA/Chicago

[ramfandan]

I've been pulling for a MIL-SEA series just so none of the large market teams get in. IMO the value of seeing the smaller market teams succeed is as valuable to the long term health of baseball.

Same here. It's not likely to happen but I would love it - also because neither of these franchises have ever won a WS.

I think I heard SEA is the only team never BEEN in a series.

You heard right.

and Brewers have been in just one .. 1982 and lost . can't remember which NL team beat them .. anyone on CT remember ? think it wasn't one of the big market teams

Seattle Mariners against Seattle Pilots would be interesting…

So the whole point is only large market teams are good for the playoffs and WS??????

Goodby baseball if true.

It’s not. What’s needed is competitive series. That draws the interest of fans.

In regards to $$$>>>eyeballs>>>>Network>>>>MLB

Exactly. It's this simple: Large market teams have more fans so viewership will be higher.
