Its time for another great post and or commentary on whatever I want. Yep. That's the ticket. Is Pedro Martienez going to the NY Yankees? I saw on Sports Center that he had a meeting with the Boss, George Steinbrenner, some time this week. But you know that is baseball. Gone are the days of players spending entire careers with one team. I mean how many guys that are on the Yankees have been with them for thier whole careers? There are few guys any where that have been in the bigs for five years and are still with the team that they came up with. That is what has happened since free agency came into play in the Major Leagues.
I have another thing to discuss tonight and that is the Designated Hitter in the American League. The DH has been around since 1973, I think, It may be '69, but the question is is the DH needed. The DH is the biggest difference in the two leagues. Do we need it now? The designated hitter was put into the line up to boost attendence in the AL. The majority of the great power hitters of the time were in the NL. The AL owners wanted higher scoring ballgames. Thirty or so years later the leagues are as balanced as they have ever been. This season the greatest DH of all time, Edgar Martienez, has retired. I belive that it is time to retire the DH. That is just what I belive.
