Make a pitcher bat in a game hosted by an American League team
During the middle of a game, make the first baseman & designated hitter (DH)
switch positions. The player who used to be the designated hitter will then be
the first baseman, and the player who used to be the first baseman will be
taken out of the lineup, and in his place will be the current pitcher!
Example:
Roger Clemens is pitching for the Yankees. Luis Sojo is the DH, and Tino
Martinez is the first baseman. Sojo and Martinez switch positions. Martinez is
taken out of the game, making Sojo the first baseman. There will be no DH and
instead of the DH, Clemens will bat. The only way to undo this trick and the
only way for the first baseman to return to the game is to start the game (not
season) all over again, and the pitcher will always bat ninth. The lineup,
well I can't explain.
