My antipathy to the DH should be well-known to regular readers. So why am I including a spot for it in this feature? Simply put, it’s a result of looking at the amazing talent we have seen over the previous eight weeks, which has NOT been selected to the All-Time team, simply because of the available quality. I think it was ‘Hacks who suggested we add a “DH” spot to give another opportunity for a deserving player to make the cut, and it seemed a worthwhile idea. Though here, I must stress we don’t mean a designated hitter in the usual sense, of a player who only hits and doesn’t field.
