| Oh the teams in the AL overall are much better than in the NL. I just hate the American League format, i.e. the DH. For my money it takes away from the strategy involved in the game. Being born in raised in Richmond, Va I've had the Atlanta Braves AAA affiliate here all my life, thus I'm a Braves fan and always have been (even in the dark days of the 80's when we'd lose 100 games a year like clockwork). I grew up on NL baseball and it's definitely my preference. I enjoy watching good pitching over good hitting any day. Give me a 1-0 pitchers duel over a 12-11 game any day of the week. But I'd say my opinion was probably skewed by getting to see Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz pitch three out of every five games for ten years. |
