I have never understood the whining about it. I get it, not all the match-ups are exciting, but you still have Yankees-Mets, Cubs-White Sox, Angels-Dodgers. You have rematches of the World Series like Red Sox-Dodgers this season or possible previews of the World Series like Dodgers-Yankees this season. Yea I love it and it&#8217;s because of inter league games we have the Red Sox and the Giants at Fenway Park over the next three days. Yes it&#8217;s a little excitement in the waning days of a disappointing season for the Red Sox. It&#8217;s the return of a YAZ to Fenway Park for the first time since Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski patrolled left field in 1983. Yaz&#8217; grand son Mike will be playing in the outfield for the Giants at Fenway in all three games. Here&#8217;s hoping he will see at least a little action in left. Yes it will be exciting and it never would&#8217;ve happened without inter league play.<br \/>\nThose of my generation who grew up in the Boston area in the 60&#8217;s will always remember the magical 1967 season and Yaz&#8217; triple crown! It was a season that changed everything. It was a season that was an &#8220;Impossible Dream&#8221;. We all knew the album by heart. It was narrated by Ken Coleman, who got his start broadcasting the Rutland Royals in the late 40&#8217;s on Rutland radio station WSYB. Who can forget the &#8220;Carl Yastrzemski Song&#8221; by Jess Cain? I still get chills when I hear it to this day. &#8220;And In Vermont&#8230;.It&#8217;s Only Yaz They want!!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jack Healey I love inter league play in baseball.
