I've been an Astros fan all my life. With that moniker, it pretty much has always put me in as a National League guy also. With that being said, I was cringing at the bit when it was announced we would be an American League team in 2013. Needless to say, it hasn't been that bad. I actually enjoy the American League game now. Its good to see the pitchers concentrating on their trade, king of like the offensive and defensive players do in the NFL. It also makes the game more fun to watch when you aren't waiting for the pitcher's slot to come up, and defuse a possible big inning. I know that National League guys will say it takes the strategy out of the game, but I don't totally agree with that as much now. With less pinch hitting, a team could potentially keep one or two extra pitchers on their roster, if they want to keep specialists for certain "strategies". Yep, I'm an American League guy now.
