On sun Red Sox played the Braves why did the Sox wear red jerseys?Also, did the AL league pitchers have to bat
Question:sun may 20, 2007 the Red Sox played the Atlanta Braves @ Fenway Park. Main question was the Sox jersey color question and the question whether a AL league pitcher has to bat when playing a game with an NL league team, or if a NL pitcher has to bat when playing a AL team?
Answers:
In Interleague play (including the World Series), the lineup rules are determined by the home team's affiliation. On Sunday, the Braves had a DH bat for the pitcher since the home team was affiliated with the American League. Similarly, the Yankees' pitcher had to bat because the home team (Mets) was affiliated with the National League.

Pitchers bat when playing in NL parks, and teams use the DH when playing in AL parks. I don't know the specific reason for the red jerseys, but typically the home team gets to pick the jersey color they wear.Who finds it annoying that most teams get a day off after the 1st game like me?
