If the DH is used, it isn't baseball.

Real baseball doesn't use designated hitters. That's how come I like the NL.

All any baseball purist has to do is click "Show usernames", and you diehard AL fans' cover is blown.

That means playing all aspects of the game. If you only bat and do not field, you're not playing it right. If you only pitch and do not bat, you're not playing it right.
The DH sucks.

DH in the AL, none in the NL....you get the best of both worlds, and it maintains a difference between the leagues.
They should change that stupid winner of the All Star game gets WS home field advantage rule though..

I don't know what's so hard about that.
