I'm saying MLB IS broken, to anyone who will listen. Because it IS broken. And it is all because of $$$$$$$$$$! Do kids play baseball anymore, other than former MLB players' sons? Does anyone watch baseball on TV? No, it is far too boring for society today. I personally think that the majority of so-called fans attending games in person are going by having their employer provide them with a ticket. Who can afford to go, unless you sell your encapsulated and bar coded Babe Ruth Goudey card? Are baseball players household names anymore? Who will be the star du jour in 2022, after this year's stars have their Tommy John surgeries. As I have said before, over and over, tell me again how ballplayers today are so much bigger, stronger, faster, and better as they collect their half a billion dollars to sit the bench. Total BS. And therein is the problem. Nothing can improve the game, can't speed it up or any of that, because the owners have to pay these guys salaries so big that most stars can't even comprehend mere mortals like fans anymore. Just to get an autograph at the All-Star Game, you have to pay through the nose for the VIP Experience Package or some such crap. In this current lockout, I 100% support the owners. Something has to give with these BS players or the game will tank.
