Perhaps you would prefer that baseball be run by the federal government? They do such a great job! I can only imagine the new regs.
"Robotic": Again, not sure what this means. Last time I checked, there were no robots on the MLB diamond. Just flesh and bones fielders, batters, umps and coaches with all of their human foibles.
"Bernie Madoff": I never rooted for Bernie Madoff. The guy made-up stats and defrauded his clients of hundreds of millions of dollars. I haven't seen that in baseball. In baseball, you can watch the game and track the stats. No fraud so far as I can tell. Just big business, big contracts, big money--which you perhaps don't like.
Baseball is rather like our country. Fundamentally sound and flawed; worth preserving and improving.

For all your puffed-up enthusiasm, baseball is still undeniably dying.
