Milwaukee Brewers had played in American League under the era of Bud Selig. Since he became the commissioner of MLB, Brewers became only AL team to move to National League.
Do you think that if the two leagues are about to equal at 15 teams each? Currently NL has 16 teams and AL has 14 teams.

The reason why the Brewers were moved to the National League was because they expanded and brought in the Diamondbacks and Devil Rays. Since each league would have 15 teams but didn't want to have both leagues play each other through out the year, MLB moved the Brewers to the National League and made both leagues have an even amount of teams. The only way the Brewers can return to the American League is if Selig decides to have both leagues play each other through out the year or if MLB goes through another expansion and brings in 2 more teams so each league can have 16 teams each.

The disparity in the number of teams is a fair point but, as always, it boils down to money.
What would be better for the Brewers at the gate?
To go back to the AL and have teams like the Yankees and Red Sox coming into town once or twice a year for a three game set?
Or, does it benefit the Brewers more to stay in the NL Central and have Cubs fans turn Miller Park into "Wrigley North" three times a year for three to four game sets?

The leagues should have 15 teams each, but american league still over powers the national league regardless. So doesnt really matter. And as far as the brewers going back, they fit good in the national league, they are a young decent team. If they where in the american league they would not do that good.

No, I think the Brewers should stay in the NL. I understand the NL has 2 more teams than the AL, but it doesn't really seem to be a problem nor has it been. Why fix something when it ain't broke?

The Brewers have been easily the 2nd team to be asked in the event that they wanted to visit the NL needed. The Royals have been asked first, and declined. it may be not elementary to do to any extent further shifting if all the proprietors did not consent. The Brewers don't have too lots going with St. Louis, however the Brewers/cubs series have been astounding. not only do rivalries take time, yet shop in mind that the Brewers have not fielded that many solid communities via fact that shifting to the NL, and this is demanding to advance lots of a opposition whilst one team is often the only to lose. and the St. Louis video games have been getting lots better, extremely via fact the Cardinals have been mouthing off approximately how "elegant" they are and how shameful the Brewers have been.

If both leagues had 15 teams than 1 team from the AL and one team from the NL couldn't play every day.
Comprendo?

No way!
It would make a mess of the schedule, because having 15 teams in each league means that one team in each league would need to have a night off. That would also likely mean the regular season going into mid-October just to cover all the off days caused by the uneven schedule.
Bad, bad idea. If Milwaukee moves, so should another team. There's a reason why baseball always tries to have an even number of teams.

For scheduling purposes it would be a mess...as a fan of the game, I would like to see the Brewers and Twins play more than two inter-league series a year.

Well, it might be good to even things out between leagues, but I don't think the Brewers would want to.................they will match up much better against the Cubs and Cardinals than the Twins and Indians.
