Red Sox, Yankees and Phillies in the Same Division?

Arguably the three best teams in the entire Major Leagues, all in the same division.

What do you think?

Personally, as a baseball fan, that would be a dream come true. Can you imagine 38 games a season between your team and either the Sox, Yankees or Phillies? Intense, playoff-atmosphere games which are nerve-wracking and just fun to watch.

As a Sox fan, that’s unfair. If those three teams are in the same division, then realistically one of them will win the division, and the second place team will win the wild card. However, the third place team, which still may have better records than other division winners, will not have a spot in the playoffs.

Nevertheless, Selig has a decision to make: Sacrifice a little fairness for more exciting baseball?
