Realignment Fails To Ease AL Expansion Push
The American League plans to settle its realignment issues at an Oct. 26 meeting in New York before expanding to 10 teams. Key topics include shifting Washington and Minneapolis, potential Washington move for Hank Greenberg’s bid, and Kansas City’s franchise status as Cleveland faces dissatisfaction with attendance. Dallas–Fort Worth is viewed as favored for a slot amid many applications while Los Angeles expansion faces hurdles from Walter O’Malley and Chavez Ravine timing. Commissioner Ford Frick could cast the deciding vote if the leagues clash over New York territory.
