I think a hint of why I don’t enjoy the sport can be gleaned from this:

I was tall for my age in high school. I tried out for the basketball team and didn’t make it. :)

That will do it! I haven't got as great a passion for baseball as most guys because I just never had much of an instinct for playing the sport.

I've always thought there should be 2 different leagues. One for the tall players, 6'3" and taller, the other for 6'2" and below. I'd expect the "smaller" players league to be more exciting.

Either two leagues, or...

No dunking and no shots closer than 10 feet from the basket. Trump can build a wall (no taller than 5 feet) at the 10 foot line.

I'm not holding my breath for either option, but perhaps new leagues, with the different rules?
