Someone already said it, it's a Coke VS Pepsi argument.
However, I'm a purist, and I played baseball all the way into the college level and pitchers in the game always took hacks when I was growing up. Why should it be any different? I've yet to understand the reason FOR the DH. It makes absolutley no sense. My biggest problem with the DH besides it really changes interleague play, is the fact guys like Paul Molitor made his career a hall of fame career getting 3000 hits as a DH. Frank Thomas, (insert washed up players name here). And soon, you'll see Bonds hit 756 as a DH in the AL.
