What if NBA games played in an Eastern Conference stadium used a 3-point line, but games played in a Western Conference stadium didn’t? What if NFL games played in an AFC stadium had the option of a 2-point conversion, but games played in a NFC stadium didn’t? I trust you would say, that’s ridiculous! Because it is.
What if MLB games played in an American League stadium had the option of using a Designated Hitter, but games played in a National League stadium didn’t? I trust you would say, that’s ridiculous! Because it is.
It’s illogical that MLB continues to play by 2 sets of rules. I completely understand that not everyone agrees on whether or not MLB should have a DH or not, but it’s a decision that needs to be made one way or the other. Every decision that’s ever been made in the history of sports, that’s brought about change, has divided people initially. There’s got to be someone in MLB that has the courage and leadership to make the tough call and make a decision on this matter.
Because change is hard, and no one wants to be the bad guy, is no excuse for continuing to be illogical. MLB, do the right thing and make a call on the DH rule.
