Well interleague play is here again, which means some old dude will be on ESPN talking about how this is a cheapens the game. (BTW Peter Gammons in only 64...I mean holy shit dudes, wear suncscreen!)
Personally I don't care much about interleague play, it adds some mild intrigue to regular season baseball by giving us some unusual matchups. And because it improves ticket sales it is quite obviously here to stay. The one argument against that I always thought was interesting is that it takes away from how special the world series is...I agree that part of what makes the world series so awesome is that it really does feel like the two teams are from completely different leagues and that makes it feel more like a "world" championship than say the superbowl or the nba champtionship. The thing is I don't buy that having a sprinkling of interleague games takes away from that at all, besides AL teams already see NL teams during spring training, the hall-of-fame game, and the all-star game."both teams played hard...good night and god bless"
