There are no designated hitters in the fight against cancer...

On the radio lately, I've been hearing a public service announcement (with Reggie Jackson, I think) about Prostate Cancer.  It states that, in the time it takes to play one nine-inning game of baseball, nine men die of prostate cancer.  A terrible statistic indeed, but is that the time it takes to play one nine-inning game of American League baseball (i.e., forever) or the much more efficient National League brand (under three hours) -- which, of course, would make the stat all the more frightening.

Just wondering...
