The Commissioner of the newly formed National Baseball League:
"We are extremely pleased to announce the structure of the new league. There will still be sixteen teams, divided into four divisions. Our schedule will be 162 games, with each team playing the teams in the same division 30 times each, and playing all teams in the other divisions six games each.
We can get to some other details later, but here is what you have all been waiting for - the franchises and divisions:
The Atlantic Division
Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Sox
Montreal Royals
New York Mammoths
Great Lakes Division
Chicago Whales
Cincinnati Reds
Detroit Tigers
Pittsburgh Pirates
Plains Division
Colorado Rockies
Houston Buffaloes
St. Louis Cardinals
Texas Rangers
Pacific Division
Los Angeles Angels
San Diego Padres
San Francisco Seals
Seattle Pilots

Commissioner: I would not describe it as complete.
R: Aren't many of the franchise locations simply pandering to a group known as Fans of DMB?

C: I'll take more questions as they come up ...
