I think 32 would be good for us.

Fundamentally, it's just a lot of cities like to have major league baseball.

When people want your product, you ought to try to find a way to sell it to them.

It's kind of basic, number one.

Number two, it does a ton for us from a format perspective.

You would realign.

You would do it along geographic lines, which would alleviate, could alleviate a

ton of the travel burden that's on players remember we ask our players 162 times in 186 days so most of the play between 162 and 186 travel right i mean so you you can eliminate a lot of that travel make it less burdensome which would be a great thing in terms of player health and safety

And if you play geographically, we get in a postseason.

You know, we have those four-window days that I love, right?

You get four baseball games in a day.

It's awesome.

But when you think about the fans in the individual markets, you always end up with, because of the way we're set up, you know, you get Boston versus Anaheim in one of the early rounds.

So you're either going to be too late for the fans in Boston or too early.

So if you realign geographically, you would look more like other sports where you play up east geographically.

into the World Series and West into the World Series.

And that 10 o'clock game on the West Coast that sometimes is a problem for us becomes a prime time game on the West Coast for the two teams that are playing.

So there's a lot of advantages to it.

I think if you did it, you'd probably be eight fours, right?

And I think you would try to keep the two...
