The Designated Hitter

Posted on: October 2, 2009 by admin No Comments

Now for those of you out there that hate the designated hitter, try and relax a little bit, breathe, breathe – there you go.

I do not get why the American League chooses to stick with the designated hitter. I figured once inter league play started- just maybe they would do without it. Well that didn’t happen.

What may be even crazier though are people out there that will actually stop watching baseball just because of this one detail. Really, a sport you love, yet you will protest watching it just because of a rule you don’t agree with. There are a lot of things people may not like about baseball- like the games are too long or the fact that more and more players seemed to be doped up.

Get past those dislikes and sit back and enjoy. Once the designated hitter comes to the plate, change the channel for a bit. Enjoy the game for all the other great qualities it has. There should be a ton more likes than dislikes anyway. So write the MLB commissioner a letter telling him why you hate what you do, and move on. Do it kindly also. Remember baseball can be a great sport to follow, even if you are a Yankee fan!
