The marathon that is the Major League Baseball season is about to begin, with spring training camps opening up across Florida and Arizona. This is no different from every other season. However, what is different this season is the installment of year-round inter-league play. With the Houston Astros switching leagues, there are now 15 teams in each league, thus creating the need for an inter-league matchup to occur at all times. Since its inception in 2007, inter-league play normally occurred over the course of a two-week period in June or July. Now, it will occur from April to September. Many oppose this scheduling change, as teams will be playing fewer games between divisional and league rivals, which in many cases have playoff implications. Inter-league play has always been about the fans, though. Attendance is always higher during the games and it allows fans to see teams and players that they otherwise wouldn’t get to see. Then again, a Yankee fan would much rather see Justin Verlander, Prince Fielder and the Tigers come to town than Chase Headley and the Padres.
