Padres Should Play AL Opponents, Too
Clearly a unique team sport and acknowledged as America’s pastime, I find major league baseball lacking an obvious dimension--regular-season inter-league play.
Baseball’s “weaker sisters” (NBA, NFL, NHL) all seem to understand its appeal, but I’ve yet to see baseball address the issue, or for that matter, find the media discussing the topic. In lieu of the same old schedule, the Padres could add a home-and-home series with each American League team. Wow! Could you imagine all those American League teams in town? The 162-game season would still be honored but simply adjusted to accommodate its new personality.
Clearly, the fans would love it, and consequently the owners would benefit from the increased attendance.
