I've always thought that Al Lopez' idea for the designated PINCH hitter was worth investigating. You'd have to find an Illinois paper from somewhere around 1963-65 when he was manager of the White Sox in which he came up with the idea for the Sox to compete with the Yankees. The Sox' pitching staff from 59-66 or so was one of the most formidable in history, but the offense was woeful. He wanted a way to use Smokey Burgess more than once in a game. He was fired as manager before the DH came into existence but was still a viable hire, so the DH rule was made to look like it was baseball's idea and not his. Funny thing is, after he made the suggestion the topic never went away, mostly because Mickey Mantle was so obviously aging. It'd make a great topic because you might actually be able to use it to get rid of the DH abomination and yet change the game. Just a thought.

You should definately research the AAGPBL (All-American Girls Professional Baseball League). When baseball was practically shut down during World War 2, Phillip K. Wrigley formed this league to keep baseball going, by employing women as players.

"Girls of Summer" (forgot author)
They have a website, but if you just google it, you will find tons of results
Good luck. This is a topic I have researched just for fun because it's so interesting :)

He hit over 50 living house runs in 1990. besides the undeniable fact that, it become steroid injected rubbish. yet another participant, Cecil Fielder (Prince Fielders dad) additionally hit 50. Fielder become a organic means hitter and become respectable. Brady Anderson besides the undeniable fact that, could have been the prelude to all this steroid mess. He become slightly element who looked like a WWF wrestler. In 1990, whilst they hit 50, no one had hit 50 living house runs because of the fact George Foster did decrease back in 1977. 50 living house runs become a particularly stressful deal previously the juice got here to visit. desire that facilitates.

The history of the reserve clause and the MLB's anti-trust exemption. That is typically one of the options that one of my students draws each semester in either Sport Law or Introduction to Sport Studies classes.
