| - The four-month-old ESPN sports game show based on baseball.
- A designated hitter (often shortened to "DH"), is an official position adopted by Major League Baseball's American League in 1973 that allowed teams to boost sagging offensive performances by designating a player to bat in place of the pitcher. Since then, most amateur and minor leagues have adopted the same or similar rule, but the National League has not. No team is required to use a DH although every American League team does have one.
- Designated hitters or DH for short are only used in the American League. Some people think that this position is useless and think pitchers should bat just like in the National League. Others say that this position is good, that it gives another player the chance to play. If you have a designated hitter like Jim Thome then the position is use less. Usualy a DH either hits a home run or nothing at all. Jim Thome is a perfect example.
- "Designated Hitter" is a short story written by Harry Turtledove which was first published in Fantasy & Science Fiction in June 1990 and later reprinted in Departures. It is a science fiction story set in the present day and concerns an unusual softball player on a beer league team known as the Gators, who consistently gets on base with blooper hits much as a knuckle ball pitcher strikes out batters with erratic pitches. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Usualy a DH either hits a home run or nothing at all. Jim Thome is a perfect example. Jim Thome has not been doing good this season. Sure he has sixteen home runs but that is terible for a guy who gets so much publicity. It may be that all the reporters always asking him questions is making him feel uneasy at the plate? Well we may never know. Jim Thome is just one of many designated hitters that need to step up there game. Especialy if they play for the Chicago White Sox the best baseball team the world has ever known.
