News from Planet Selig: DH in NL parks, and pitchers hit in AL parks for interleague

[El Supremo]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Assuming anything with him is tricky, but baseball commissioner Bud Selig seems to realize the novelty of interleague play wore off long ago. That's the only rationalization possible to explain why he would mock the rules of his own sport in order to create more interest.

At a press conference before the All-Star game on Tuesday, Selig suggested that teams use a designated hitter in NL parks, and that pitchers should hit in AL parks during interleague games. Just flip the league rules around. It'll be fun!

Among other topics, Selig also repeated his belief that expanding video replay isn't something most people want, and that he stands by the Mitchell Report and its results. So, what is Virgin Galactic charging for round-trip voyages to Planet Selig these days?

Truthfully, Major League Baseball should pick a side (the DH side) and stick with it. Ever since interleague play started, the DH variable has been skewing the outcome of games. It's not fair (to either side, but more so to the AL), and it's just wrong. A sport should play by one set of rules. Not only does Selig not agree with this, he thinks it's cute and should be shown off like a puppy.

Personally if MLB does pick a side, I hope it's no-DH but that's the problem with picking a side, you'll anger too many people.
