End the abomination known as inter-league play.

Absolutely correct. It was so much better when the NL played the AL for the first time in the World Series.

But then again, I would also get rid of the DH. That's why I rarely watch AL games.

I would also get the season back down to 154 games.

In my humble opinion Get rid of the NL’s antiquated pitcher at the bat. Just when you get a couple in scoring position up steps the primadona hurler. Then you need to keep a phalanx of pitchers on board along with extra guys to pinch hit.

The so called ‘strategy ‘ of dealing with a crappy hitting cy young window is
Just frustrating and unnecessary.

Without this antiquity you have a number of relief pitchers and a couple of DHs who can double as position players.

I used to think that; but, then I watched the Mariners play when Edgar Martinez was the DH, and I was converted to the wisdom of the position. LOL. Now, they have Nelson Cruz as the DH, and it is great.

I won't watch an AL or an inter-league game. And I feel kinda funny watching a NL game with the Brewers in it.
