DH blows
You're living in the past in politics and baseball. Fans want to see HITTING so why should an NL team get a DH in AL parks and not vice-versa? AL starting pitchers bat maybe 20 times a season at NL parks.....not that pitchers can hit, with the rare exception, so it's 3 minutes of boredom....I go for refreshments. NL starting pitchers bat 2 or 3 times a game in say 25-30 starts.....unfair advantage. All the minor leagues and colleges use the DH last I heard....only the relics like you hate the DH.
The DH makes managing much easier, and as professional athletes every pitcher needs to be competent in bunting, and willing to work in the cage to at least put the ball in play (unless the double play is possible). The Big Leagues do not use pepper as an excellent way to develop putting the sweet spot on the ball, pepper seems to be a practice and a skill long lost.
As for food, the two best ball parks where I've enjoyed the food are AT&T in SF, and the parks in Milwaukee and Philadelphia. NY, Chicago and LA are typical & fare, and expensive. Seattle's okay, Boston has lots of choices outside of Fenway as does San Diego. Tampa;'s stadium is a dump and in Phoenix like Boston and San Diego the food is best eaten in the community.
