If the World Series reaches a seventh game this fall -- and which baseball fan wouldn't love to see it -- the game wouldn't be played until Thursday Nov. 4, which is pretty late in the year to be playing a World Series game if you think about it. Especially when you consider that teams like New York, Minnesota, Philadelphia and Cincinnati could be hosting World Series games come November.

Not exactly warm-weather locales once the calendar turns to November.

So it'd be a bit more prudent for MLB if they could wrap up the postseason a bit quicker, and if they're looking for a possible solution on how to do it, they need not look any further than current Angels manager Mike Scioscia. Scioscia says that playing a 158-game schedule, rather than 162, makes some sense for the game.
