The National Pastime Has Never Been the Same
Pete Rose said it best when he said, I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball. Then the question should be raised why have we screwed with the greatest game on earth by allowing the designated hitter rule in the American league. Baseball is not simply our national pastime, it is something much more. Baseball is magical, where men can be boys and the sounds and smells of the ball park can last a lifetime. Where the cheers of the crowd from time long past can still be felt and almost heard when you take your seat in the stands.
