Though '93 is not a good reason. The DH was instituted because once upon a time, long ago, people thought there was not enough offense or runs scored in baseball, and one league lost its head and instituted it to get more offense. Later, like in 1993 when the period started where everyone hit 40 homers a year and hitting .300 lost all meaning, it was still in effect only because the players league did not want to give up 15 jobs for guys who can't field. That is why the DH exists. But it's fine, we should have plenty of players with two teams to draw from.
