Into Kauffman Stadium go the D-backs, and hopefully I will remember how to spell the name of the ballpark without looking it up, at some point over the series. [How many F’s? M’s? N’s?] There have only been twenty previous games between the two sides in this location, and only a handful in the last dozen years. Obviously, that will be less the case going forward, with a series every other season. That’s one thing I do miss about the unbalanced schedule: the sense of there being something “special” about seeing some of the teams in the American League.
