Nay; my view is that to the greatest extent possible, the participants in the world series should reflect their relative performance in the 162 game season.

This doesn't indicate that I'm satisfied with baseball's adherence to archaic rules and practices that Ned Hanlon or John McGraw(if they were dug up, revivified, and stuck in the dugout with a team uniform)would have little problem with. For example, the continued resistance to as small a step as a single DH, instead of moving forward to say, a 6-man batting order.
