I should begin by admitting that I have spent most of my life up until fairly recently adamantly opposed to the presence of the designated hitter ever coming to the National League. I prided myself in the way I loved the purity of the game and didn’t want it sullied by a half player, as I once viewed the DH. However, as opinions tend to do when you are willing, mine has changed. I’ll explain first where my long standing opposition came from, and then I’ll elaborate on why I have let go of that view.
I touch on it in my bio found below, but I grew up a Cubs fan because of accessibility.
