How often did Major League baseball clubs only play teams from their own league during the regular season before the inclusion of interleague play?

  • Always

  • Half of the season

  • Only during weekends

  • Only during weekdays

Answer

Prior to the introduction of interleague play, Major League Baseball teams solely competed against opponents within their respective leagues throughout the regular season. This meant that American League clubs only faced other American League teams, and National League clubs only played against other National League teams. This practice ensured that all matchups involved teams from the same league.
