I’d much rather have a designated hitter than a designated sitter. The National League is the only league left where pitchers bat. While I’m of a younger generation, I consider myself a big time historical baseball aficionado. I know there are still some purists out there, but after 40 years, the DH has truly been woven into the fabric of the game. Aside from the “entertainment value” of Bartolo Colon flailing around, there’s no point to it.
I say this coming from the perspective of a New York Yankees fan, American League baseball fan and as someone who has known nothing but the DH in the AL growing up.
