P>r a few yentr However, eve.')<nr Ikes a winner nnl win i< nd the key woid in the cities t.i.u expanded s 'me years ago. An ther element that enters in the picture is the source a[ taunt In the p.-i World Wa. II years there was at one time 56 minor leagues, each boosting at least four on up to ei > • te mis. Plenty of young players wen involved ai.eclly m the Kime an I talent wa< being supplied through this complex system of farm club-.. Then along came TV. ce t in'y a mu t .or the major league • t" any sp rt but th 1 n I ”-nt < -ir^l the kJ on the ca-ket for the "min at" league teams. EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE the best so expanded k’evi . n entt. tamed the baseball fan instead of going out to the minor league parks. Consequently the minor leagues began to disapr> rto tne low j nt < todav, when very few are left, thus cutting the number of boys and men playing the game severly. Also on the picture since the end World War 11. came the "Bonus Baby. Tiiis also caused a pioblem. A pr< mixing youngster was offered higher and higher salaries and eventual legislation tv keep this jwmewhat in line, never eliminated the big o^teia to swing a player towards the big money deal. THE TWO BASEBALL leagues will move into the expansion and divisional play different type schedule, also six game shorter than the National L< ague. They wdl meet each team in their own division 18 times, the same as before, while they will play the teams of thei. t»wn division only 11 times. The National will balance it out b< tter. just basically leaving the two divisions separate by standings. SEVERAL DIFFERENT things could happen. l.i the American League .or examj territory determines the d.xi-, n into an east and we t basiTh) - just so happens t< put the first five teams </f last year.
