Split season proposed to save American league from Yankees
New York figures in a plan being discussed at winter meetings to divide the 1929 season into two halves. Clubs could opt to play straight through or in two halves based on standings at midseason. Originated in the minors, the idea has seen success in several leagues including the Pacific Coast League. If adopted, a May battle would decide winners from each half.
