Eliminating the NL/AL has so many ramifications. All of the awards/records would be affected. There would only be one batting champ, one MVP, one ROTY. There would be no such things as “National League Champions”. And I’m sure eventually everyone would get used to it. But does this really need to be done? One of the cool things about baseball is being able to travel to Boston or Baltimore and root for the team knowing it doesn’t affect your team at all. Eliminating the leagues robs us of that.
