Was that a weak attempt at humor? Did you just forget the sarcasm tag? If not, here's a news flash...that "little league" as you call it has beaten the National League in the World Series in 12 of the last 18 meetings.

As for Suzuki, his batting average would probably be better in the NL. In the NL, managers sometimes have to pinch hit for a pitcher who's throwing very well, but the team trailing. That means sometimes the manager has to put in an ineferior pitcher on the mound because he can't allow the pitcher to bat in certain circumstances. No such problem in the AL. Strong pitchers can remain in the game as long as the manager wants him to, as the manager will never have to sit a pitcher in order to pinch hit for him. This means Ichiro faces better pitching in the AL than he would in the NL.
