Which is the best?
Question:American or national league
Answers:
Serious poll here. To all baseball fans. Which series would you pick to watch?
American league is clearly the stronger division the past 2-3 years at least.Personally I like the strategy of the National league game though. The double switch and trying to squeeze one last inning out of your pitcher.
So I'm not sure exactly what you meant but thats my 2 cents.
The AL. Go Tigers.
I caught a foul ball at a game....?
They both have their perks...but I'd have to say National. I love it when the pitchers surprise everyone with a great hit!A lot of people would claim the American League is better because the teams have better offensive line-ups. Others would say the NL is better because they have better pitchers, and play small ball. If you have the Red Sox playing the Astros (which they are on each others schedule) the Astros are more likely to bunt and steal bases. Where as the Red Sox will more likely to be looking for the big hit from guys like Manny or Ortiz. I believe the All Star game determines this question. Both leagues send out their best players to that point in the season, and they play each other. What ever team wins the game determines which league is the better league. Ever though the NL all satrs beat the AL all stars doesn't mean an AL team won't win the World Series.

In overall talent the AL is the stronger league, but I think the World Series winner will come from the NL again this year. The top of the NL is pretty strong with the Mets, Braves, Phillies, Brewers, Padres, and Dodgers all having very strong all around teams. The bottom of the NL on the other hand is really bad. Washington, Pittsburgh, Cincinatti, and Colorado all look to be really bad teams. The AL has its share of bad teams too, but they aren't as bad as those 4. The problem with the AL is that the top doesn't seem to be as good to me. All of the top teams have flaws, whether thats pitching, defense, of hitting. Boston has probably the strongest team but the bullpen is still a mess even with Papelbon at the back, the Yankees need a lot pitching help, the Angels struggle to score runs, and the 4 teams in the central will be facing a war of attrition to even get into the playoffs. I see the Mets winning the whole thing with a great lineup and better than expected pitching (especially when Pedro, El Duque, and Duaner Sanchez are all back).How much is it worth? I have a baseball from the Reds signed by the following:?
If you are asking which league has the better teams/players:In recent history (as of 2007) the American League has been the better league in terms of head-to-head results including the postseason (except of course, the most recent World Series which was won by the St. Louis Cardinals, an NL team).
If you are asking which league is a better in terms of rule differences, excitement of game, variations in styles, etc... :
The majority of people (by a slim but growing margin) would say the National League due to the lack of designated hitter, the substitution strategy that results, and the greater use of the speed game. This of course is based on fans opinion, rather than fact.
