Quote:Oversimplifying it? That's the only way this can be looked at. It's a pretty simple thing. The majority of baseball purists disagree with the DH. Know who loves it? The Union. It allows older guys who can't field anymore to play more. Gotta love that. Washed up player, but he can still bat. Or a young kid who can field at all, can still bat. That isn't baseball.

 

In the fairness of equality though. MLB needs to stick with one rule, either/or I'd be ok with. At the very least, stop inter-league play until things are fair. One thing I hear baseball fanatics always say is how cerebral of a game that baseball is. The DH squashes that notion by taking out a pretty big chunk of the brain out of it. The DH is an excuse to be one dimensional.
