Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3991119, member: 1969"] You keep saying that the NL wanted to do it in 1973 but only an "admin issue" of sorts stopped it. If the NL owners really wanted it in 1973 and knew it was the right thing to do at the time why did they never move to change it in 1975? 1980? 1985? 1990? 1995? 2000? Because that is not what the majority of fans of NL Teams wanted at the time. Clearly they did not think it was the right thing to do for quite a long time no matter how long you reference this quirk from 1973 You also have stated a few times the fact that the NL is changing it now, implies that having NO DH before was wrong... or that fans of No DH were wrong. It simply means the game has changed and fans have changed. And since leagues really have little autonomy and the MLB has more of an interest than ever apparently in making the rules the same, the DH is the way its going to go. It does not prove that our view of the game was right or wrong. [/QUOTE]
