The reason MLB had 16 teams in the NL is because at the time


MLB didn't want interleague games played every day or have 1 team in each league off. At the time MLB wanted interleague games to be played at certain times on the schedule. Hence why Selig "volunteered" his Brewers to switch from the AL to NL. Fast forward to about 5 years ago. MLB was now fine with the idea of an interleague game played every day. Hence why MLB held the sale of the Astros hostage in order to force the Astros to switch from the NL to AL. Now both leagues have 15 teams and Texas no longer has a NL team.
