Even though MLB interleague play has been going on for the past ten seasons, and appears to be here to stay, that doesn't mean that everyone has accepted it.  Or enjoys it.  What are some of the reasons why there are so many critics of the practice?  What can the MLB Association do to win back those fans that have lost their enthusiasm due to interleague play?

After the 1994-95 strike, baseball was in trouble.  The Boys of Summer where not attracting many fans. Stadiums around the country drew menial crowds and the future of many teams was in question.   Suggestions were few and those in charge had to deal with the problem quickly.  Their solution was interleague play.  While it left many in an uproar, it got people back in the stands and watching on television.  To criticize a move that had its intended result is a bit crass.  What were the options?  Isn't it better to have baseball, in whatever form it may be, instead going without it?  Aren't the clashes between teams coming from totally different perspectives more often interesting than not?
