I disagree about the DH and do admit that I come from an AL hometown. Watching the game is entertainment, akin to watching a movie or attending a concert for me. I want to see the best talent at the plate, see some hits; not bunt after bunt and strikeout after strikeout. There are very few good hitting pitchers and the "easy out" they add by batting in the NL is to me, disappointing
