When a pinch-hitter comes to the plate, he is replacing one of the nine players in the existing lineup, whether that player be the pitcher or not. As a full-fledged member of the lineup (for the moment), he would take another turn at bat if the situation warranted it. OK, enough of the rulebook stuff...I just heard that Ueberroth wants to poll America on other controversial topics besides the (yuch) DH. There is only one problem: a polling firm hasn't been chosen yet. So hold on, baseball fanatics -- this poll will get done (if not this year, there's always next year).
