What are regular season baseball games between the American league and national league called?
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.
Are National League baseball games shorter then American League baseball games.?
No, Both American and National league baseball games are 9 innings long
When was the baseball season less than 162 games?
162 were scheduled for each team in both leagues. Some teams had games rained out and were never re-scheduled. The LA Dodgers and the SF Giants had identical records after 162 games, so the two teams played three more games after that. These extra games were counted as regular season games for all record keeping.
Does the pitcher have to hit in the National League?
Yes. The designated hitter rule was not adopted in the National League, therefore pitchers are part of the batting order. During the World Series, the designated hitter rule is used in games played in the American League park and not used in games played in the National League park.
What player has played in the most postseason games played in the national league?
Chipper Jones has the most career postseason games played for a National League player with 92.
