Constitutional amendments for team sports.
______________________
Say what? You mean they don't? Nope, at least not in baseball.
Seems pretty fundamental. Increasingly in recent decades the integrity of Major Baseball League (MBL) tournament qualification under commissioner Allen Huber "Bud" Selig has been undermined by problems with the schedule, even in 2013 after Selig moved Houston from the National to the American Conference so that all divisions have the same number of teams.
Part of the problem is the Selig infatuation with inter-conference games, which Selig continues to describe as inter-league games. Selig never noticed that the two leagues merged into one in 1999 several years after Selig had become commissioner. Oh well. It's only been a huge unfair mess for a decade or two. Who's counting? Obviously, not Selig. As long as the players do not use performance enhancing drugs (PED) when their teams play different schedules.
The solution: do it.
