Baseball is about history as much as it is about sport. It is a game of math and statistics. Numbers, numbers, numbers!
One of baseball fans favorite pastimes is comparing the players of long ago to current players and it is unfair to compare Babe Ruth to Barry Bonds because of his use of steroids. {I'm not even going to mention the season was 40 games shorter}

If this is really what most baseball fans want, then they should pretty much hate MLB right now. It seems like MLB is doing alright for itself, though.

40 games shorter? How do you figure that? Regular seasons were 152-154 games a year for a long while untli they expanded to 162 in 1961. Now, the playoffs have gotten longer but at most they are 12 games longer (5 divisional and 7 LCS).
