A thread over at Calpundit got hijacked into a discussion of the designated hitter rule. Kevin seems surprised. Come now, you must realize by now that any dicussion can be hijacked into a discussion of the designated hitter rule.

I like an idea I heard recently about how to apply the rule in inter-league play: instead of playing by home team rules, play by visiting team rules. That way fans in those cities get to see a different way of playing ball.
