20. General Comments (Do
you like the DH? Do you like interleague play? Have you ever
rolled any No Hitters or Perfect games? Ever end a game in a �Walk
Off" Home Run?)
DH-no, except that it differentiates the leagues.
Interleague-no, terrible, horrible, an open sore. No hitters/perfect games/4 homers-several. Walkoffs-many.
In real life, separate the leagues, overlapping only in the series. have league offices in different cities, and perhaps, encourage competition for television money.
