MacPhail, 69, former Yankees president, says a self started Continental League is “silly” and favors expanding the two existing majors. He notes the Pacific Coast cities have been folded into the National League and warns the Shea group faces turf and talent challenges. He adds he’s busy with horses and cattle and doubts a new league can gain major status.
