1. Astros To The American League

There's been a lot of changing going on in MLB as of late -- name changes Florida, logo changes in Toronto and Baltimore, and now one that actually may have a legitimate impact in Houston -- the Astros are going to the American League.

They willingly surround themselves with reminders of the misery and failures of their favorite team. Here's hoping Jose the pooch doesn't flee the Seinfeld residence for one in, say, Miami.
