Word it however you want, it's easier to pitch in the NL then the AL.
Pitcher hitting vs. DH
Plus most NL teams tend to be more speed/defense, where AL teams tend to have better hitting.
As for "the NL has much more dangerous players then the AL."
Top 5 BA
3- AL
2-NL
Top 5 HR
1 - AL
4- NL
Top 5 RBI
4 - AL
1 - NL
Yes, the NL has some great hitter that are "dangerous" but so does the AL.
(oh, and I'd replace Sosa w/ Beltre)
AL - Vlad, A-rod, Manny, Ortiz.
