As Major League Baseball desperately tries not to destroy itself, one rare positive development has been the suggestion of a universal designated hitter. But what about tradition? What about strategy? What about logic? Lefty Grove never complained about batting! The Baseball Rabbi - Pesach in particular - destroys these and other arguments and demonstrates that, like it or not, the DH is the guarantor of true baseball integrity. Plus: ESPN's "Long Gone Summer" documentary is a travesty. (Except for Bob Costas. He was awesome.)
