SYMPTOMS
========

The Major League Baseball rules state:

  The designated hitter named in the starting lineup must come to bat at least
  one time, unless the opposing club changes pitchers.

In Microsoft Baseball 2001, you are able to substitute the designated hitter at
any time, even if he has not had a plate appearance, or the opposing club has
not brought in a relief pitcher.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Baseball 2001.
