Fair enough. I'm only a few years older than you and I, too, would prefer baseball entirely without the DH. But I was really addressing the idea of the NL as a "brand" as something that actually matters to most consumers of baseball. I became a fan of an NL team as a child because of where and when I happened to be born. I think that's basically how it happens for most casual sports fans in every sport. And moreover, the NL hasn't really existed as a brand for decades.
