SPECTOR: Stop resisting the DH, National League
The American League established the DH in 1973 and has since enjoyed advantages over the National League during interleague play regardless of which league hosts the game. American League teams are 23-19 in the World Series since the DH was born and have an all-time record of 2,565-2,299 in interleague play.
With those numbers in mind, and the rise in pitchers getting injured while either in the batter’s box or running the bases, bringing the designated hitter seems to be a sound idea for all parties.
