It’s finally starting to look/feel like spring as we start a new week, and it is also the perfect time for another edition of Monday Poll. Last week’s question was a clean sweep as all 8 of you who voted said that yes both the Celtics and Bruins would win their first round series. Today’s question is…are you a fan of the designated hitter rule in MLB?
