My proposed 32 team Fantasy Major League Alignment

I will create FMLB32. It will consist of two sixteen team leagues each with four four-team divisions. There will be a 162 game schedule with each team playing its division rivals thirty times in one season (ninety games) and all other teams six times (six times twelve makes seventy-two). The eight division winners will qualify for the playoffs -- no wildcards! I am thinking of maybe changing the playoffs to best of seven, but then I may not.

I have created two new teams, the Brooklyns and the Polos, to play in the National League. They will represent the old New York National League teams that moved to California.

I have revived the Browns, Senators, Pilots, and Expos. I don't want my leagues to have Marlins or Rays -- sorry, but I don't like their aesthetic.

The Royals have been renamed the Monarchs. I am thinking to honour the old major negro-league teams.

So, without further ado, here is my proposed thirty two team FMLB alignment:

National League
.
East Division
Nationals
Phillies
Pirates
Braves
.
North Division
Brooklyns
Polos
Mets
Expos
.
Central Division
Reds
Brewers
Cubs
Cardinals
.
West Division
Dodgers
Giants
Astros
Padres
.
.
American League
.
East Division
Orioles
Senators
Browns
Indians
.
North Division
Tigers
Blue Jays
Red Sox
Yankees
.
Central Division
White Sox
Rangers
Monarchs
Twins
.
West Division
Pilots
Mariners
A's
Angels
.
.
I am contemplating a few more changes. I want to add more Negro League team names and dump some of the unattractive current Major League team names.

I would welcome your suggestions.
