I don't know anyone who likes the American League games better. Maybe some fans do. But if you're not an actual DH, you probably prefer the National League.

Zack Greinke

If I was going to make one rule change, I would bring the DH in the National League.

George Brett

If I was going to make one rule change, I would bring the DH to the National League.

Everyone in the world disagrees with me, including some managers, but I think managing in the American League is much more difficult for that very reason (having the designated hitter). In the National League, my situation is dictated for me. If I'm behind in the game, I've got to pinch hit. I've got to take my pitcher out. In the American League, you have to zero in. You have to know exactly when to take them out of there. In the National League, that's done for you.

Jim Leyland

If you look at it long-term, I think eventually there will be a DH in the National League.

Max Scherzer

When people say 'American soccer,' they think of the U.S. national team. But American soccer also includes Major League Soccer, and until we have a league that produces players at the rate other leagues around the world do, I don't believe we'll ever get to where we want to be.

Landon Donovan

Those huckleberries in the National League don't want to do anything that the American League wants to do.

Phil Rizzuto

The National League game is chess; The American League is checkers.

Bob Costas

When you talk about the American League, you think of Fenway. When you talk about the National League, you think of Wrigley and the fan base that they have in Chicago.

Pat Gillick

My heart is with the WNBA. I've had success in the league, I've loved the league. I'm a true fan of the league.

Anne Donovan

When I was younger, I could never have imagined that me at 24 would have already won a league in Portugal, a league in France, a league in England, and playing for the national team.

Bernardo Silva

Probably the Liga MX or the American league, there are a higher number of competitive games than in the Spanish league or the English league.

Gerardo Martino

I think there's more of opportunity to win games in the National League than the American League because there are more decisions to make.

Joe Torre

I liked to play against all the teams in the National Football League or the American Football League, because they were always a challenge.

Jim Otto

It's the same game. It's baseball. National League, American League. It's baseball. I just come here and try to do my thing. Do my work and help the team to win.
