john/z28jd The fact that the DH was put in before I was born might weigh in on my opinion but I actually like the DH because it gives star players chances to hang on a little longer. I also watch a ton of national league games being in a house of Mets and Phillies fans and me myself being a Pirates fan and I can't stand seeing a weak hitting 8th place hitter get pitched around to face a pitcher who has no chance. I wouldnt change the NL to a DH league because its been around so much longer than the AL though.
If you think about it though,on the average after the fifth inning the NL is basically a DH league because of pinch hitters,so really you would be changing half of a 9 inning game going without the DH in the AL,not really that big of a deal. I wouldnt add another player either,MLB is already watered down talent-wise,adding another 30 marginal players would just make the skill level that much worse
