This weekend begins baseball inter-league play. Fans either love it or hate it. I love it because I am lucky to live in a city with two baseball teams that face each other every year for two three-game series, one in each of their respective ball parks. It’s one of the few times this city seems to come to a standstill.
I especially love it this season because the World Champion White Sox will face their World Series foes, the Houston Astros, as well as the foes most fans wanted them to face in the fall classic, the St. Louis Cardinals. Both series will be at the Cell. The Sox also play against the Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road.
The series with St. Louis should be especially enticing. Imagine Jim Thome vs. Albert Pujols. There’s a match-up worth drooling over.
The Cubs go on the road to face the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome, where they have never played before. Detroit and Kansas City make visits to Wrigley Field.
