On April 6, 1973, at 1:53 p.m. Ron Blomberg of the New York Yankees came to the plate versus the Boston Red Sox. That single at-bat assured Blomberg of baseball immortality and we here at Baseball Almanac are pleased to present the box score of the first designated hitter game.

Ron Blomberg was the DH for the Yankees on opening day 1973. Orlando Cepeda DH'd for the Red Sox in the same game. Cepeda was in the on-deck circle when the last out of the first inning was made, which then let Ron Blomberg make history as the first DH to come to bat in a major league game.

Ron Blomberg was the first designated hitter playing for the New York Yankees in 1973, the first year of George Steinebrenner's dictatorship. Give me the best answer because I was detailed and funny.
