        Well, personally I feel that it's pretty bogus to DH for
      a fielder who can't hit too well. I hear in 1990 the AL is
      going to allow DH's to hit for shortstops also because they
      can't really hit so hot ( pardons to Baltimore, Detroit and
      Milwaukee for the shortstop comment)? Suppose you have a
      player who plays only every four games, why not DH for him?

       Another gripe  I have with the DH is that it will warp
      records. A DH can play longer than someone who doesn't have
      or didn't have the benefit.

       Wouldn't it be great to have a Designated Free Throw
      Shooter in basketball? This guy would shoot Free Throws for
      your weakest shooter.
