Why did the phillies use a dh in the 1980 world series at home?
The Philadelphia Phillies used a designated hitter (DH) during the 1980 World Series at home due to the rules of Major League Baseball at that time. The World Series was hosted in a different league's park, as the National League (where the Phillies played) allowed the use of the DH in the American League parks, but not in their own. Since the series was held in Veterans Stadium, which was a National League park, they did not utilize the DH there; however, the DH was used in games played at the American League park, which was the home field of the Kansas City Royals. The Phillies strategically used the DH in those games to enhance their offensive lineup.
