Boston's ballclub was in New York for the weekend, but not to face the rival Yankees. This time, the Sox were playing the Mets for the first time since a fateful World Series meeting in 1986. Boston fans had to endure Bill Buckner montages all weekend, but they were rewarded by seeing two Sox victories in a series in which Boston outscored New York, 20-10.
The Sox then swept the Phillies, getting off to a promising interleague start that season. (They're now 144-109 after taking two of three from the first-place Brewers over the weekend.)
Yet, as much as the Sox welcome interleague play, has the excitement worn off?
Some have argued that interleague play takes away one of the more unique aspects of the All-Star Game and the World Series, as they used to be the only times all year that the AL would see the NL. Others don't enjoy watching NL teams scramble to find a DH on the roster in AL parks, while it's just as hard watching AL pitchers try to hit.
By now, you've seen just about all there is to see in interleague play. Is it still exciting?
