in addition to designated hitter in ‘73 American baseball gets 3 unlimited player switches per game.

1) What are some of the strategic implications of how this plays out?

2) And, how does this help baseball compete during a period in which American professional football was generally boring?
 
as a fan, you might be familiar with the murmurings of excitement as a pinch hitter comes in.

Well, imagine that in a much bigger way when the player switched in order is a really good hitter!

and the manager still has two more strategic moves in reserve ;)
