First of all, how anyone can not like the world series trophy is beyond me. I think the ordering of the pennants by team record each year is a great touch. Also I dont see the european system working, especially with the free agent market and players retiring A couple months later a club might have a different nucleus of players, and players who earned the right to play in the playoffs might be elsewhere. Not to mention a team that sneaks into the playoffs could load up on free agents after the regular season and use them to win the trophy. The current system works fine, and except for playing a 7 game series over 2 weeks should stay as is
The Playoffs, As We Know Them, Are Bunk
