He: Did you know that they are now playing seven-inning games?
Me: Yeah, double-headers. And that they're starting a runner on second base in extra inning games?
He: Good thing Dad didn't know about this. It would have killed him on the spot.
Me: Yeah, sure would have. DH rule took a couple of years off his life.
If you're watching a bad team like the Phillies,the misery ends more quickly.
Seven-inning games and DHs are life shorteners, but the plans of many Brooklynites to live for several hundred years were ended by the assassination of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the destruction of Ebbets Field.
Twin catastrophes than which there ain't none whicher.
