Yet Another Myth
Like all myths it is spoken as truth, but when analyzed it is revealed as a false premise. There has been a recent trend among media types to explain the failure of pitchers who switch from the National League to the American on the “fact” that the American League is a much more powerful offensive league because the designated hitter gives American League lineups nine hitters while National League lineups have eight hitters and the pitcher. What garbage.

An Out of Date Model
It is so basic that it is never forgotten when assessing a team’s chances of winning a baseball game. Now, we all know that while predicting winners is acceptable and even encouraged, actually betting on baseball games is a bad thing, but almost any ten year old can tell you, when an individual bets on a baseball game, the betting line is based primarily on the starting pitchers. But even those who set the odds sometimes are behind the times. Sometimes, even the experts employ out of date models.

It Really Is Offensive
Great pitching and defense often create excruciating tension which can be released with almost no warning at any time. In a 1-0 game in the eighth inning, every pitch and every play is important. A two run home run by the team with the lead puts the game out of reach while a two run home run by the trailing team turns the game around.

They Didn't Always Hit Home Runs
When fans think of the Brooklyn Dodgers they usually think of Ebbets Field and Brooklyn’s devastating home run power. The Brooklyn Dodgers' last decade, the decade of Jackie Robinson, PeeWee Reese, Duke Snider, Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella, Carl Furillo, and Don Newcombe has left an indelible association between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the home run, but it was not always so.

Why Offense Has Increased: Part 2 -- The Designated Hitter
Some owners decided that adding a hitter would help to alleviate the problem. The pitcher would not bat. Each manager would designate a player who would replace the pitcher in the batting order. It was a tenth “position” but one that required no defensive skills since the designated hitter would never play in the field.
