The article is stupid. It's claiming the AL even has an advantage in NL parks.

Get rid of the DH. It was enacted in the 70s to score more runs. I never understood why both divisions don't have the same "rules".

Both divisions? There are 6.

I meant league instead of division.....AL has differnent rules than the NL. The AL enacted this to increase scoring in the 70's.

Ok? AL is more fun to watch.

 

[Frank Dukes]

meh.. AL gets the DH and the NL allows their pitchers to hit. its a wash IMHO

The AL's DH rule favors the AL in interleague play. Look at the dominance at AL home stadiums. My opinion is that the league should play under a standardized set of rules. Go back to the pre 70's where there was no DH.

Let's go back to 1900 when they didn't have gloves and a lot of stadiums didn't have walls either.

And white guys held records

You bring up a good point. If Jason had his way, anybody of any color would be in their own league. And Jason's reasoning? Because that's how it used to be.

Babe Ruth wouldn't be shit if they allowed blacks to play in baseball back then.

 

[Turk]

He still would have been good, but he wouldn't have been as outstanding as he was.

Where did I say that? LOL You guys crack me up.

All I am saying is that the AL enacted the rule in the 1970s to increase scoring in the AL and it doesn't make sense to have two different sets of rules in the league. That's like the NBA Eastern Conference moving the 3 point line in three feet to increase scoring.

I don't mind that, I like that. I like when there's a difference between leagues or conferences, otherwise, wtf is the point in having 2 different leagues?
