This is an excellent post, even though your first two points are exactly the same. I think the real question here is, and I know this is difficult to evaluate without bias, but if the DH were on our side and not the other, would we prefer it? Would we support its adoption in the AL? The only people to whom I could address this fairly are Sox fans, and I don't really want to talk to them, and even if I did, I wouldn't want to hear what they have to say about baseball.
