No. Both the American and National Leagues must abide to the Official MLB Rules. The only difference between the two leagues is that the National League elects not to use the Designated Hitter Rule. Both leagues have the option to use it or not use it at the beginning of any game. Even if one team uses the Designated Hitter Rule, the other team may elect not to use it in the same game if they want to.
