It's been supposedly dying since around 1912 or so, yet for some reason millions still enjoy the game, and have been for over a century.

Hard to figure these things sometimes....

you're a hardcore baseball fan

what are your thoughts on bringing the DH to the NL?

I've switched my stance over the years - before I was deadset against it - but I think in today's times - where a lot of people crave entertainment - i.e. - scoring runs - it may be the move to make.

i enjoy a good pitcher's duel and defense - but i don't think most casual fans do

I've always enjoyed that the two Leagues did it differently, it's kind of a neat, unique thing about the game.

I was born and bred as a Sox fan, so I grew up on the DH. Never had a problem with anything that kept guys like Yaz and Don Baylor playing. And of course, you got guys like Edgar Martinez and David Ortiz going in the Hall of Fame as DH's.

I moved to California and got into watching Giants baseball, and really came to appreciate the National League way of baseball, though. Matter of fact, I've grown to like it more. It's more of a thinking man's game, which of course is why modern culture wants to destroy it.

Keep the Leagues the way they are, I say.
