The DH is a gimmick rule added to boost scoring. If oyu ask me, its more ridiulous to have a guy in the lineup who is almost always some aging fat-ass who can't play the field and is only god to swing the bat. The traditional rules mean that every guy in your starting line-up has to be at least passable in the field.
Not to mention that in the NL, the pitcher slot mean syou have to actually use strategy: do I pinch-hit for my pitcher to score a run when said pitcher is shutting the opposition down? I swear to god that AL managers probably make more decisions in one game than AL managers do in a month.
DH's are joke. They shouldn't even be allowed in the HOF. No, not even Edgar Martinez.
