There are a lot of Yankee fans in places like Florita and Arizona. The closest that the Marlins/D'Backs get to selling is likely during interlague play.<br /><br />It's all about money... absolutely.

He was about to start the opening game and they asked him if he feared the Yankees and he said "how could I fear them if I've never seen them play"? My point? I hate inter league play and miss the non-familiar play of the World Series between 2 teams who haven't played 10 games in the regular season against each other.hershhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095348599514214434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339646220153814400.post-43246708795837462722011-06-15T10:14:49.793-04:002011-06-15T10:14:49.793-04:00For as much of a conflict of interest Bud Selig ha...For as much of a conflict of interest Bud Selig has had with the league, there's no denying he knows how to monetize the game. That's what this looks like to me. It's all about the almighty dollar. If you just move one team to the AL, you have one team each night that can't play. I've also heard about possible rolling Interleague play where AL and NL teams are always playing.<br /><br />I think having the top 4 or 6 in each league making playoffs will kill pennant chases.Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834032474182586162noreply@blogger.com
