Said Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw: “Personally, I like National League and American League, but now that everybody has a DH … it doesn’t really matter that much.” “What does it mean? I think it did mean something when the rules were different,” Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he would not object to geographical realignment. “The game is not what it was 100 years ago,” Roberts said. “I do think that fans will adjust. I think players will adjust. At the end of the day, it’s still the same game. It’s teams competing against each other.”

Well, yes and no. The American and National Leagues are certainly relevant on a historical basis; all of the awards (batting champions, gold gloves, Cy Young, and MVP winners), and all of the baseball statistics we love have been separated since the beginning. So we need that to compare our teams and heroes historically. But moving forward the leagues feel more like arbitrary groups that, without any separation or rule differences, do not have any real meaning for the future.

You need them for certain things, but not with the same need you once had.” “What does it mean? I think it did mean something when the rules were different.”
