Came across this online.
 

"Once upon a time, boys and girls, the Atlanta Braves played in Boston, the Oakland A's played in Philadelphia and baseball really was the national pastime..."

8 teams in each league. No watered-down "bigger, stronger, faster" I've got a hangnail and can't play BS.

No stupid playoffs. Just a World Series.

No stupid 4 and 1/2 hour games. Got to have 5 minutes of commercials every half-inning to pay those billion dollar contracts for players who can't play because of their hangnails.

No stupid corporate names for ballparks.

No stupid DH. The pitcher hits. It's called managing.

No stupid 4 finger walks. Or instant replay. Umpires, right or wrong, are the last word.

Tell me again how great the game is today. Baloney.

James,

Good to hear from you. Now, if you have an opinion, don't hold back. Tell us.

Brian, sorry for the rant.

It is a pretty interesting article.
