People who don’t care for baseball shouldn’t watch or bitch about it.

That’s all the fix it needs.

Amen to that! Let them go watch football players beat the hell out of each other or hockey players get into their faux fights. They obviously get their jollies out of such displays of testosterone-laden men. I prefer the display of skills and strategy in baseball.

I think the idea is to prevent the sport dying a slow death. I played baseball at a high level 30 years ago, and I will be honest, today’s game bores me to tears. You attend a MLB game today and the crowd resembles a nursing home. The diehard baseball fan today has a foot in the graveyard. It may be unfair, but it is true. The younger people do not like the sport as much as they did 30,40 years ago for a number of reasons. The pace of the game, the destruction of youth baseball by my generation with all the club teams and money involved in playing today, the lack of stars in today’s game. What I mean by stars is not just performance, but personality. Today’s player comes off as a personality lacking robot. It is not their fault, it is how they have been molded by today’s system. If any sport wants to survive in the future, it should always be thinking of ways to improve, not sitting on its tradition.
