June 12, 1997, Seattle
The first time in Major League Baseball history, teams from the American League and National League competed in regular season games during the 1997 season. The first Interleague game was played on June 12 as the Texas Rangers hosted the San Francisco Giants at The Ballpark in Arlington, Texas.
For the first five seasons of Interleague play, each division played against the same division from the other league (AL East v NL East....). As of 2002, the format changed where teams would play games against teams from other divisions
