In case anyone is interested, this is our initial alignment:
NL East
Boston (elduro25)
Brooklyn (mcurio1)
New York (crazyamos)
Philadelphia (toddcommish)
NL West
Chicago (contrarian23)
Cincinnati (techmobo)
Pittsburgh (grayfoxx)
St. Louis (eastvanmungo)
AL East
Boston (N4ser)
New York (kev780)
Philadelphia (WavelandGuy)
Washington (Pubs)
AL West
Chicago (coachgreat1)
Cleveland (buddhagamer)
Detroit (zizzo24)
St. Louis (bingo_long)
We are entering an era of frequent franchise movement though, so this alignment will not last long. In 1953, elduro25's Boston NL club will pack up and move to Milwaukee, shifting to the NL West, and moving Pittsburgh into the NL East. The following season, bingo_long's St. Louis AL club will move to Baltimore and the AL East, shifting (believe it or not) Washington to the AL West, etc.
