Interleague play is silly. That is all.
To add on to my first thought... The two leagues have different rules and the teams are constructed accordingly. Apples and oranges, baby! Personally, I'd prefer the White Sox never darken the opposing dugout steps of Wrigley Field. If MLB dumped interleague play, we could get back to a normal schedule or even cut the regular season back to 156 games so the Wold Series did not end in November.
That is all.
I look at it differently. AFC teams play NFC teams in the NFL. The same concept is alive and well in the NBA. If I live in a National League Town like Denver, I would never see A-Rod come to town if it weren't for inter-league. If I live in Minneapolis, I never see Pujols, etc. It's good for attendance and interest. Plus the intra-city rivalries (LA, NY, Chicago) are cool in my opinion. That is all from my side of the fence.
George Brett settled all of this a few years ago...lest we forget.
Dang...I did forget. Of course, so did George as he had to tell us on two separate occasions that night.
