While we are invoking the great name of George Will, lets look at his thoughts on the designated hitter:
"The best case for the DH is this: It represents that rarest of things, the triumph of evidence over ideology. The anti-DH ideology is that there should be no specialization in baseball, no division of labor: Everyone should play "the whole game." That theory is obliterated by this fact: Specialization is a fact with or without the DH. Most pitchers only go through the motions at bat." (Men at Work)
Wasn't Glenn Beck one of those coke-headed morning DJs in the 1980s? Its all an act, I assume, and I think its a damn good one.
