I love the traditions of baseball.

I think the DH in the AL is cool and the Pitcher flailing in the NL is cool.

I do not think it should change.

Ground rules are ground rules. If the home team has the pitcher hitting, then the visiting team abides by those rules.

Every year, MLB conducts research among the fans.

Approval of the DH rule is consistently split 50/50.

Virtually 100% of fans in AL parks approve of the DH. And virtually 100% of fans in NL parks disapprove.

Accordingly, right now, everybody is getting what they want.
