Why baseball’s National League should adopt the DH
January 1, 2013 | The Week
Pitchers are terrible hitters. We all know it. Of course, it’s completely understandable. Aspiring young pitchers are so busy perfecting their curveball, their grip, their form — and more, or course — that they just don’t have much time to take cuts during batting practice. It’s an understandably low priority. Nonetheless, for fans, having to dread at bats from the number-nine slot in the lineup only to suffer through watching pitchers crouch in an awkward stance, bat dangling somewhat askew, and then feebly swinging through fastballs that they stand no chance of hitting — well, it’s really one of the worst things about National League baseball.

In appreciation, here’s a little roundup of just a few of Streisand’s career’s highlights.

Has your holiday movie-watching experience been tainted by Casey Anthony? Cause mine was, just a little bit.
