Just be sure to let her know the AL was simply adopting an idea (DH) originally proposed by the National League.
At least she will be rooting for a team in a different league, so the rivalry wont come into play unless both teams make it to the world series at the same time. Which, at this rate, will never happen

I am Rangers fan and my 7 year old step daughter roots for Seattle because she was born in Washington. I am just happy she has any interest at all. We had a blast at Rangers picture day and she still enjoyed getting pictures with all the players even though they were not Mariners. Just enjoy the great game with her no matter which team she likes.

Never understood why you would have your pitcher hit at the highest level of their sport.

The pitcher is not just a pitcher, he is a baseball player like everyone else. A baseball player plays in the field and hits. ![[Image: Heyward.jpg]](http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j347/rondo4president/Heyward.jpg) 
Definitely let her do it, my old man and his dad grew up the same way, grandpa was a Yankee and my dad a Red. They would cheer against each other all the time, but it made for some real bonding for them and passed it down to me. One nice thing though, we all love Seattle, but I am a huge 49er fan and they are both huge Seahawk fans. Good luck and have fun with it!

As for the original poster, be happy she is a fan of the sport at all. I've got a little girl I'm hoping is a sports fan like me, but is really in to shoes at the moment.
