EmuZombie Veteran Posted June 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 19, 2004 Anyone know of where I can find out the differences in rules between the American League and National League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I didn't really think there were that many rule differences besides the DH rules. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxpor Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 there are also "non-writen rules" eg. I belive NL pars are generaly "pitchers parks" whilest AL parks are "hitters parks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 also, i believe AL games have a Midnight local time curfew. They may have done away with that rule but i remember it back in the mid-90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have done away with that rule but i remember it back in the mid-90s Definitely not a rule anymore. I was at a Yank game a few years ago that went way past midnight.

baseballpro9 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 All rules are the same in both leagues, except of course there is a DH hitting instead of the pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galley Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 The National League is 25 years older, if that matters. National League: 1876 American League: 1901 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Definitely not a rule anymore. I was at a Yank game a few years ago that went way past midnight. i think it dealt with rain delays mainly. if it went to extra innings i think they kept playing.. it was something like if the game wasnt official by midnight, they would call it.. but im really not sure.. and it seems like they never really enforced it even when they would mention it on tv because fans would not be happy at all.
