I have zero interest in baseball these days. This is coming from someone who idolized Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra etc., back in the day.
Fifty years ago every sports fan knew the baseball greats....Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Koufax, etal. They recently did a survey to test the baseball knowledge of the average fan. A very large percentage of Americans do not know who Mike Trout is. Trout is considered the best player in the game by many baseball experts.
