I've said it for years, and I'll keep saying it. When American League teams face National League teams, BOTH teams should have a DH. Always.
Cubs fans won't be able to see their new folk hero, Kyle Schwarber, play at home because he's not medically cleared to take the field on defense. They MAY see him pinch hit in the series, but without the DH role, they'll be missing one of their greatest weapons.
The rest of the baseball world has been using the DH for decades. From high school through every level of college and pro ball. Except the NL. If the commissioner wants to make a difference, this is something he should mandate. Next season would not be too soon.
