To the hardcore fans, this is an unacceptable view, which I don't understand.
Makes perfect sense to me. I come to watch the players, not the managers.
Baseball is a game of tradition. The numbers and statistics tell a story throughout the long history of the game. That consistency makes baseball unique IMO when compared to other pro sports. Thats why performance enhancing substances like steroids and HGH are a MUCH bigger concern in MLB.
I appreciate the fact that baseball hasnt fiddled with its rule book much. I love the NHL and NFL but the amount of tinkering that has been done to the rules in those sports is almost laughable at times.

Oh, I agree. They added 8 games to the season in the early 1960s, which I'm pretty sure allowed Maris to break Ruth's home run record (in the first season of 162 games I'm pretty sure). I know a lot of people had a problem with that at the time, but they got over it. The National League made the same change a year later. I know this is a different kind of change, because it's not really affecting the actual game. However, it still affected the records and statistics that matter so much to a lot of baseball people.
I think people would get over the change, is my point. If the AL got rid of the DH, I'd eventually get over that, too.
