I was born and raised a yankee and cowboy fan. My football number 74 comes from my father, who's idol was Bob Lilly, Defensive Tackle for the Dallas Cowboys forever. One of the greatest to play on the line. I have a picture of me in a Dallas tshirt when I was 2 years old, so go **** yourself on the bandwagon talk.

NL has the advantage.
They have a 9 man roster...dont start throwing out figures of 8 and then sometimes they bring in another guy... The 9th guy is the pitcher, and that pitcher has seen more at bats then any AL pitcher.
But when they go to an AL park, they get to put in a bat-only guy!! Where the AL has that all season long, no doubt, but you dont put some suck-ass guy in for your DH...you put a big stick in there.
But when the AL goes to the NL park, the AL line up is now 8 plus pitcher, sans one of thier bats, while the NL has its full, seasoned batting line up that have played in 160+ games together.
In the AL field, its a push. In an NL field, the AL is at the disadvantage.
