Interleague Play: the will of Satan



The Boston Red Sox won 2-1 Friday night in the Los Angeles Dodgers' first game at Fenway Park... The only previous regular-season meetings between the Red Sox and Dodgers were in June 2002, when the Dodgers swept a three-game series in Los Angeles.



Interleague baseball is one of the signs that the apocalypse is nigh. That and night games at Wrigley.



The teams also faced each other in the 1916 World Series when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn. The Red Sox won the series in five games, but the three games in Boston were played at Braves Field because the NL team's stadium had a larger seating capacity than Fenway.



Baseball as God intended, with the Red Sox win counting as one of the miracles. Of corse, the had a pretty good young pitcher, guy by the name of Babe Ruth. Which reminds me, I forgot to include a rant against the designated hitter rule... pitcher's can't hit? Babe Ruth. And he did it without steroids too.



I gues there have been a few improvements in baseball. Jackie Robinson would be the big one. Decent gloves, teams west of St. Louis (though there ARE too many)... it would be nice to bring back the scheduled double header, though.
