		<description>Joe Morgan is a jerk, but he is right about this. And I don&#039;t care for ESPN either. They need to get out of NY City area and pay attention to the rest of the baseball world.

The real problem with the DH, call it anything you want but it is not a position. Position players play on the field, not the bench.

Back to the real problem,  is that it is a miserable failure. It was created to stimulate the attendance of the American League by supposedly increasing scoring. Just look at the results of last season&#039;s scoring and all previous years except the first one (1973) and you will see that the average American League team out scores the average National League team by .2 runs per game.
 1/5 of a run per game.
 What does that mean?
 It means that the American League has some pretty shoddy hitters hiding in the 7th, 8th, and 9th spots in their typical American League team batting orders.
More scoring! Hah!  32 more runs per season isn&#039;t even a blip.
I, for one, would like to see the pitchers hit in preference to those weak sisters &quot;hitting&quot; in the bottom three spots of the typical American League lineup</description>

		<description>it should go to the team with the better record cause if the players don&#039;t really try their hardest to win the all-star game and that would make it b.s. if like the best team in the nba didn&#039;t get home court advantage just cause their conference lost the all-star game</description>
