Highlighted entry:
1933
William Veeck‚ president of the Chicago Cubs‚ urges a midsummer series of inter-league games. He also proposes a split season. While some owners are in agreement on interleague play‚ Washington owner Clark Griffith is opposed. "We're not going for any Hippodrome stuff. The AL is a big league."
Now, there is interleague play, but the rivalry continues...right?
