That's interesting, thanks LGO. If I remember correctly, split-seasons occurred before divisional organization, yes? I assume geography played more a role in the formation of divisions than simply providing for more playoff teams, that is, if the minors did have a playoff. And split-seasons came about, at times, to increase competition/interest? I think I've read that if a team was way ahead, the league split the season and then paired off the winners in a playoff at the end.
Life must be good in Scheduleslovakia, thanks for all the information!
