however, when you've got a big-time owner trying to make a change, not just play, i think it is absolutely hypocrisy. using your analogy, if american league team owners wanted rid of the dh, then yes, it would be wrong to continue following that rule. the best argument is proof that it isn't needed, and that you show that by not using it.
