Feudalism as a form of government didn't end in Europe until 2008 when the Island of Sark converted over to representative democracy.
the last indiginous rehabilitation learning center in canada didnt close until 1997
i forgot the official name for it
In MLB, the National League and American League didn't have unified rules until 2022, when the National League finally adopted the designated hitter rule.
The national league has designated hitters now? I guess I haven't watched much baseball in a while. Oh, fuck Bally's.
I believe it was implemented during covid when everything was weird and then they agreed to just keep it officially.
It was part of the 2022-2026 collective bargaining agreement. I wouldn't expect it to ever go away, since it effectively created another high-pay player for NL teams.
Had no idea.. what else changed besides DH?
How can you talk shit to AL fans about pitchers hitting now? Have any stats gotten more similar between the leagues, where the DH diverged them before?
~~Slavery~~ American chattel slavery.
This doesn't qualify. Slavery is still in use in the world. You'd have to use a modifier like American slavery or the enslavement of x, y, z, people.
You're completely right. I did the American thing that Americans are wont to do. Apologies.
