  • 1999

Answer

In 1999, Major League Baseball implemented a policy allowing umpires to work games across both leagues, the American League and the National League, instead of being assigned to a single league as was the previous practice. This move aimed to create a more consistent and standardized umpiring system across the entire league, enhancing the overall quality and fairness of the games.
