Best Answer

Regular season baseball games between the American League and National League are called interleague games. The first interleague games occurred in 1998 and have been a staple of the MLB schedule since. In 2013 the leagues were balanced to have 15 teams each (the Houston Astros switched from the National League to the American League) which necessitated interleague games throughout the season. Before 2013 interleague games typically happened in concentrated pockets during June and July.

Regular season Baseball games between the American League and National League are simply referred to as "interleague games." These games occur when teams from the two leagues face each other during the regular season, rather than during the World Series or All-Star Game.

What does AFC mean in soccer?

The NFC and AFC are the National Football League's conferences.NFC stands for National Football ConferenceAFC stands for American Football ConferenceIt is somewhat similar to the American League and National League in Major League Baseball, however the National League and the American League in Baseball have different rules (primarily involving the designated hitter), while the NFC and AFC are in the same league, and have identical rules. The NFL's 32 teams are evenly divided into the two conferences, equivalent to the divisions in either Baseball league. Each conference has playoffs to determine its champion at the end of the regular season to decide which teams will play in the Super Bowl, the NFL's championship game. In the Super Bowl, one NFC team and one AFC team play for the league championship. Prior to the 1970 merger of the American Football League and the NFL, The Super Bowls were World Championship games played between the two League champions.Back in the 60's there were 2 different pro leagues, the AFL (American Football League)and the NFL (National Football League) some time during the late 60's they merged together and became one pro league.Each conference AFC and NFC is divided up into 4 division so between the both of them there are 8 divisions.NFC Divisions:North - Green Bay, Minnesota, Chicago and DetroitSouth - Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Atlanta and CarolinaEast - Dallas, Washington, Philadelphia and NY GiantsWest - San Francisco, Seattle, Arizona and St. LouisAFC Divisions:North - Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cinncinati and BaltimoreSouth - Houston, Tennessee, Indianapolis and JacksonvilleEast - New England, Miami, NY Jets and BuffaloWest: Oakland, San Deiago, Kansas City and DenverThis is the way they were re aligned in 2001 to make the NFL more competitive.
