The only part of the game that is enhanced by the DH is the ability to score runs. IMHO, the people who only watch and enjoy baseball for the run scoring are missing out on much of the joy of the game.

I'm not saying that at all. If the DH went away in the AL I'd feel the same way about it. At least the rules of the game (much different than the varying aspects of the fields they play on IMO) would be consistent. I definitely am not saying one league is right. My personal preference I suppose, would be DH all around, but I'd feel better about it if they were the same. There are cons on both sides of the debate.
