Summary: 


I am now, and have always been, an American Leaguer.  I have been a
loyal Tigers fan since I can remember (about '67).  I wish they could 
have DH-ed for Eddie Brinkman ":-)". However, this doesn't mean I am 
pro-DH.  If we are going to honestly discuss the merits of the DH we
should leave petty League-slurs out of it. The fact is, to many of
us the sacrifice bunt, pinch-hit, bench jockeying, multiple relievers,
etc, are stimulating and add more to the game than an aging slugger.
It would have been nice, I suppose, to have had Al Kaline DH-ing until 
his 50th birthday, but I don't think it would replace the mind games
Sparkey Anderson used to play in Cincy.  Therefore, this die-hard AL-er
casts his vote for exciting, cerebral baseball.
