I don't think there are many NL Fans that tell AL fans to change their game.  But many AL Fans do that to NL Fans.    Bunch of bigots!

The fact that the amateur has to hit, creates so many more strategic opportunities during the game which an AL Manager does not have to think about -- keeps me more in tuned to what is happening in the game and not just the current batter / pitcher matchup.

Of course it does create those 5 or so useless at bats during the game which decrease the game quality and are frankly embarrassing .   Is that decreased quality worth it for the extra strategy throughout the game.   Maybe not -- heck probably not - but you are messing with how somebody has enjoyed the game of their favourite team.   And that is worth something to many - people don't like to change.   It's not a quality issue -- its a don't change what I like.

But as I said, I think there is less and less resistance from NL Fans to the DH rule.   And that is probably due to fans consuming both leagues more often and enjoying the quality of the AL Play more and that it outweighs the strategic benefits.
