Baseball was so much better then.


Other than for the artificial turf and cookie-cutter stadiums.

Wrigley had no lights, Fenway wasn't expanded. Expos Field and Jarry Park were so bad they were amusing.

I would accept the astro turf and cookie cutter stadiums in exchange for NO interleague play, no wild cards, more day baseball, local team announcers available on local channel for ALCS/NLCS/WS if your team makes it, much less steroid use, collisions at home plate, no DH in the NL, complete games, knuckle balls, free TV OTA broadcasts, Rick Monday, Davey Lopes, Reggie Smith, Manny Mota, Billy Martin, Brewers in AL, Astros in NL.

I know if you go back a few more years, it was better still, but I wasn't old enough then to remember.
