this is the cricket approach. baseball typically plays multi-game series instead. i agree in spirit though. i have long thought it would make sense to abolish the playoffs. give the pennants to the teams with the best records. then, have them play a 21-game World Series in the fall.

That's closer to how baseball used to be, but there were also less teams at that time.

  yeah, they never had 21 games, but the winningest team from each league played in the World Series until 1969. They did have a few 9 game World Series, but most were 7.
