Can’t decide who is a bigger TV show killer: Eric Balfour or Elisabeth Rohm. Tough choice, indeed.

The Dumbest Thing in Sports. Ever.

In advance of the World Series, where my Philadelphia Phillies will hopefully smack that smug look off the faces of every Yankees fan out there, I thought I’d address what I think is the dumbest invention in the history of sports:

The Designated Hitter

The American League put the rule into place in 1973 for reasons that will never be clear to me. I know pitchers are supposed to be specialty players and in the professional ranks don’t really focus on hitting, but hitting is, was and always will be part of the game. I say if you want to be a baseball player, man up and step to the plate. If you strike out every time, so be it. Just step up.

It’s bizarre to me that in one sport, the rules are different. Back in the day before inter-league play was instituted, it was easier to distinguish between the American League and the National League. The teams only faced each other in the World Series, so it was easier to keep the rules separated. But now? it makes no sense to me to have two different sets of rules for what is ostensibly the same League.
