were the great Yankees-
Mets and Cubs-White Sox
match-ups.
People will pack the stadi
ums to see those games.
My counter was, for every
New York-New Yorkgame,you
get such eagerly anticipated
series as the Florida Marlins
vs. the Toronto Blue Jays,
the Arizona Diamondbacks
against the Seattle Mariners
and Houston Astros taking
on the Kansas City Royals.
If studying the history of
Major League Baseball can
provide any insight, it might
show that the original idea of
two leagues was to have two
separate clusters of profes
sional clubs that didn’t cross
over until the World Series.
The Cubs and White Sox
franchises are as old as the'
game itself, and it just seems
like they were created to give
a big city like Chicago a taste
of both leagues, not an inter
city rivalry.
That other major market,
New York, had all kinds of
teams at one time. Not just
the mighty Yankees, but
the baseball Giants and the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Then
those two NL clubs took
their rivalry to the California
coast.
So the Big Apple was with
out the National League until
the 1960 s when the Mets
were established. It wasn’t
so the Mets could directly
challenge the Yankees, but
more indirectly for the big
headlines and fan support.
Interleague play would
be more acceptable if there
wasn’t that distinct differ
ence called the designated
hitter.
Not that I’m against the
DH, but it doesn’t seem right
to make a team change the
way it makes out a lineup
because of an interleague
game in the opponent’s
park.
The World Series already
did that. This home-field
advantage thing is more like
a league-rules advantage.
Interleague games are almost

marketed like a sideshow
attraction, like the boxer tak

My other compromise for
interleague play is do it all at
the start of the regular sea
son. That way, no one’s sea
son is potentially broken by
playing a top club from the
other league while your main
division rival gets a weak
club from the other side.
A month ago I was talk
ing about cheating in sports.
There are consequences for
those who are caught, which
makes you wonder why there
are still reports of rules viola
tions to this very day.
Some things I know can’t
be helped. A 15-yard penalty
for holding doesn’t stop the
lineman from grabbing onto
a rush end’s arm.
You can get the same
amount of yards for knock
ing down a quarterback well
after the football is thrown.
Yet that still happens, which
shows either a lack of disci
pline or regard for another
person’s wellbeing.
But how many college
sports programs have to
be put on probation before
some people get it? Maybe
it’s because everybody does
it and only those who don’t
know how to cover their
tracks get caught.
Here’s a side question on
this issue to ponder: Why
should players who had
nothing to do with the viola
tions be the ones punished
for them? A five-year ban
from bowl games is going

to hurt the current players,
not those who caused the
problems and are now long
gone.
The NCAA can always say
that somebody has to be pun
ished, and what’s the point of
going after a coach or athlet
ic director who was already
fired by the institution in
question.
As much as it is wrong for
the innocent to pay the most
for these crimes, the NCAA is
really going after the school
and its top brass.
These are the ones the head
organization doesn’t want to
see enjoying the limelight for
a while.
The NCAA could offer a
compromise when it hears
how terrible it would be to
deny the players a chance to
play in a bowl game. It could
say, “Sure, we’ll lift the bowl
ban, but should you get an
invitation, the school has to
forfeit the payout.”
Playing in the Sugar Bowl,
but not getting the sl2 mil
lion appearance fee. Not a
difficult choice at all, one
would think.
