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.

Women's suffrage was ratified in US constitution 1920. But probably not for much longer.
