Agree w/you that pitchers should have to hit. I prefer NL baseball, too. I grew up watching the Braves and Cubs, so am used to it.

There is no contest today when you look at the leagues. The NL is far inferior. The AL has a long winning streak in the All-Star Game going and has by far the better players. If the Pirates played in the AL, they might challenge the 1962 Mets for 120 losses.
