Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Friday, December 05, 2008A Different Kind of IntegrationWe'll soon be getting to the point where even otherwise grownup baseball fans won't remember that the NL never used to play the AL outside of the All-Star game and World Series, that each league had it's own President and, in many important ways, were administered separately. But every now and again I'll read something that reminds me that the leagues were far more integrated in the 70s and 80s than compared to how things used to be:Here's another one of those surprises found in the old files. The leagues really were different beasts back in the day. By the way, that story comes from a Los Angeles Times blog which trolls the old archives for neat stuff from 50 years ago. Keith Thursby throws a lot of baseball in that series, so it's worth going back to on a regular basis. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 5:32am Comments

Craig, I thought that interleague trading started a year or two earlier. It did increase competitive balance some, but it wasn’t as big as other things like the draft and free agency.
