There is speculation around baseball that the National and American Leagues will make their expansion decision next week at the All-Star Game in St. Louis. There are thoughts it could be nothing at all for now, 2 teams (2 in one league) or 4 teams (2 in both leagues).

Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baltimore, and Kansas City are seen as favorites, but several other cities are also very interested. Each franchise will cost between $1.2-$1.25 million.

There is speculation that each league wants franchises near where TV stations are starting up, so they can take advantage of the telephone communication lines.
