Sad. It was very cool that each league had its own history and traditions. I can remember radio sportscasters in the ‘70s and ‘80s talking about the American League as “the junior circuit.” You’d also hear fans say things like, “I’m a National League guy. I prefer that brand of baseball.” With it all homogenized, the league distinctions are utterly meaningless.

I agree that it was cool that each league was different. I didn't like the DH rule in the American League but I could respect it because it was one of their rules. Now with the National League adopting the DH rule, I think the game sucks now. My opinion.
