Although the potential change could ruffle the feathers of baseball purists

Many of us purists quit following MLB when interleague play (the baseball equivalent of shacking up) was instituted. I show my seven year old son YouTube video of great games from the '80s and earlier. The '77 Dodgers-Phillies playoffs were a favorite.

I like inter-league play, but I think it should be limited to natural rivals.

For instance, Dodgers and Angels. Twins and Milwaukee. Cubs and White Sox, Yankees and Mets, etc.

Right now, there is way too much inter-league play, which I find off-putting.

This purist quit following baseball after the strike of ‘94. “Never again”, I said, and I’ve followed through. When I heard of inter-league play, expanding the playoffs, all-star game determining home field advantage, this game has been perverted beyond belief.

I’d like to see, “My 25 guys against everybody else’s 25 guys”. NO rent a player for a month. Best record goes to the world series. Have a AAA call up in september. NO playoffs, NO divisions, NO inter-league play, NO designated hitter (the 2 player switch was one of the best plays in baseball) and maybe, just maybe, they’ll get me back.

Until then, they can go f*ck themselves.
