Over the last 26 years, interleague play has lost a bit of its luster. Once a brief stretch of games on the schedule in June and early July, it now takes place year-round and makes up roughly one-quarter of the 162-game schedule. The leagues now play under the same rules as well with the National League permanently adopting the DH in 2022. Despite interleague’s mundanity, however, certain matches nonetheless continue to capture the attention of at least a notable portion of the fans year in and year out—perhaps none more than showdowns between the Yankees and the Mets.
