At the beginning of the season there was talk that the National League was at long last closing the gap that had opened up in recent years between them and the American League. With the young talent that had come into the league in places like Milwaukee, Los Angeles, and Miami, such a scenario seemed plausible.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t panned out that way. As of the end of play today, the National League is 36-47 in interleague play, for a .446 winning percentage. That winning percentage is worst than any American League team except for Kansas City and Seattle.
This is really frustrating for a lifelong National League fan, but I have to admit: right now the American League is still the superior league, in just about every aspect of the game.
