IIRC, the state of Idaho was mentioned as an important source of Grayson colonists. However, Austin Grayson appears to have imposed retro-rules for Baseball.

Mind you, as a non-baseball fan, I entirely agree with Austin Grayson over reverting to the old rules for pitchers. When it was explained to me what a designated hitter was, my first thought was that this was cheating.
Many cricket bowlers have also been very capable batters, because they know they'll have no choice but to bat.
Does Safehold have designated hitters? Anyone know?
I believe that in OAR there is a mention of the pitcher batting, so I assume NL rules, not AL.
