If the game is played in a national league park then pitchers will hit....if the game is played in an american league park then the d.h. rule is in effect.

the park of the hosting team if they r in the n.l the pichers bat in a.l they wont this year its in san fran so they will

depends on the ball park

in an AL park they use a DH

in an NL park the pitchers bat

what ever league the game is played is there rules so if its a national league field its pitchers as hitters if its american league field its the dh rule

Homefield league rules apply.

If the game is in a National League park, pitchers bat. If it is in an American League park, they use the designated hitter.

Chow!!

In a AL park pitches don't bat
In a NL park pitches do bat
I think that each year the all star game switches between a AL park and a NL.

The designated hitter rule is applied based on the league in which the host team plays. In an American League ballpark, both teams use a designated hitter to hit for the pitcher. In a National League ballpark, lineups schedule the pitcher to hit, though pinch hitters are almost always used. The last instance in which a pitcher took his scheduled at-bat was in 2004, as the American League lineup batted around in the first inning, enabling AL starter Mark Mulder to bat. He was not eligible to be replaced by a pinch hitter, as the starting pitcher in any game must pitch to the first spot in the batting order.

Usually the site of the all star game switches from AL to NL every year. This year that is changed, with Pittsburgh hosting last year and San Fran hosting this year. So it will be 2 years in a row without a DH being used.

Hope that this helps you out.
