Love it?
Hate it?
I could do without it. I don't mind seeing the NL teams we in the AL don't normally get to see (not to mention the occasional "World Series preview", but there's something "bleh" about it that I can't quite put my finger on.
I think, for me, it may have something to do with the wonky batting order juggling acts created by the DH being in the "natural" AL lineups, but not in the NL ones.
i dont like it... no reason... I just dont
Shouldn't this be a poll
I like it. Living in an NL city it's cool to get to see teams I wouldn't otherwise.
And if the AL would get rid of that asinine DH-rule there'd be no problems
Here, here. This post deserves Rep! Oh wait, that's gone now. :(Quote:

Didn't realize that.
I liked it for a while...but I think it's time to move on from it. I do think it has taken away some of the luster from the World Series....and I could care less about the "rivalries" like Chicago vs. Chicago and such.....
We had interleague play before...it was called The World Series...that was good enough for me.
Now if the National League would just smarten up and adopt the DH rule....

It has a really great atmosphere in my opinion.
Interleague play doesn't do anything for me. How often do the Subway Series, or the Battle for Chicago, or even the battle for the bay happen?
Eh, it is ok. Don't love it, but I do enjoy watching the Twins play the Brewers. Maybe reduce the number of series from 6 to 3 or 4.
Don't like it!
it lost its luster, they should do it once every five years or so.
As for interleague, I can take it or leave it. Don't hate it but not that excited about it either. But for anyone who thinks the NL should adopt the DH......Quote:

If I had my druthers, I'd arrange the schedule so that each N.L team would play a series with each A.L.during a season.
Sure, this would mean that each team would have to play over 200 games per (extended) season, but that way, the baseball fans would get more bang for their buck, those ball-playing millionaires would have to work a bit harder for theirs, and those profligate owners could throw away their bucks on domed stadia.
As I see it, the baseball season would end in October, as now, take a break in the Fall -so ensuring minimum competition with Football -the baseball Franchises doing all their paperwork; conferences; "Spring Training" (within those domed stadiums); etc, in the period November through January - then begin the next season on February 1st.
I look forward to the BM version which affords the ability for us to arrange our own schedules, in order to try out this theory
That sums it up nicely, for me.Quote:

On the other hand, I get sick of seeing my team face the same 4 teams in its division 80 times, then see everyone else for 2 series in the AL, and then cram like 6 interleague series in there as well. It seems unfair that the Sox play the Braves for 6 games or something, but only play the Tigers for 6. WTF?
I would like a more balanced schedule, but interleague is a fine thing.
I like it, more wins for the Mariners.
I like it. I go to one interleague series at Coors a year. This year I'm going to the Rays series. I just like seeing the big name clubs. Watched em take two of three from the Sox in 2004 at Coors. Saw em sweep the Yanks in 07 at Coors. Watched em murder the Indians in 08 at Coors. It's fun for me to see the Rockies play these AL teams.
Yeah...I agree
This data would be more interesting if it included the attendance habits of those who answered the question.
I'd speculate that people who attend games more frequently, and who primarily attend only NL or AL games, like interleague play more than others
All I have to say is im tired of the A's playing the D'backs.
Ditto...Quote:
