I think that during interleague play, they should play by the rules of the visting team's league. The Home team would still be home (bat in the bottom half of the inning).
But when a NL team plays in an AL park, they should not use a DH, and when its AL team visiting an NL park, they should use the DH.
This way fans can see the opposite league rules in action. I live in Seattle and have been to many Mariners games including some interleague games, but I never have the chance to see the pitchers bat. Additionally, fans in NL cities don't get to see the DH's play when they come to town, aside from an occasional pinch hit.
Note, I'm not asking whether or not you think the DH should be eliminated from AL or added to NL, save that argument for another time. Just asking if under the current rules you would support playing by the visiting team's league rules?
