If you and the Person above you were Stuck On an Island

th


how about this ?
 
We'd turn that island into the largest most epic miniature golf course ever and charge tourists an arm and a leg.
 
Black rum,

Now a baseball team should be the best 9 on the field, and those best 9 should be all you have to bat.

While I don't disagree, how is one to differentiate the leagues without the DH? Furthermore, the NL will always benefit a great deal more, during interleague play and the World Series, than the AL will.

Cigar?

Oh how kind of you sir, I would love a cigar.

I see no need to differentiate. I feel that both leagues should have their 9 in the field be the 9 in the batting lineup. The DH is merely a tool to generate more scoring. I'm a purest I believe you should play both sides offense and defence.

It does make AL managers lazy. Less strategy involved when the pitcher doesn't hit, but who doesn't enjoy more runs scored?

While it adds a bit of excitement, I think it cheapens the game. And pitching prospects would change completely if you knew they had to bat.

Respectfully Sir, I submit Shohei Ohtani, of the Anaheim Angels, for your consideration.

I doubt there are a few pitchers who can bat, but the bat avg of pitchers compared to DHs is laughable. It would change the game to remove the DH and they should.

So you're saying what Clayton Kershaw does with a bat is more exciting than watching Edgar Martinez hitting a double in the playoffs?
