when did the world series dh rule in even years start in mlb baseball?
1976
at first, the dh rule was not applied to the world series. from 1973 to 1975, all world series games were played under national league rules, with no dh and pitchers batting. for 1976, it was decided the dh rule would apply to all games in a world series, regardless of venue, but only in even-numbered years. cincinnati reds first baseman dan driessen became the first national league player to act as a dh in any capacity (regular season or postseason) when he was listed as the dh in the first game (he was the dh in all four series games that year). this practice lasted through 1985. beginning in 1986, the dh rule was used in games played in the stadium of the american league representative.
