Yeah...I'm a fan of baseball. Not what they play in the so called junior circuit.

This is exactly why it will take a lot longer to drop the DH in the AL or get the DH in the NL.
The difference keeps people people interested and NL'ers and AL'ers fighting.
Once they go either way and get both leagues to do the same thing, the game will lose fans who liked the DH or who liked the pitchers hitting and the more strategic form of baseball.
