It's baseball!
Things have changed over time. I'm not sure if I'd used the word "evolved" with baseball. The word I think of is "manipulated".
Saul Goodman - The basic rules are the same, you throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball. It's become more statistic oriented these days but that's what one of the allures was about baseball to begin with.
Where else is a 60% success rate consider awesome for a season.
If you collect baseball cards, let's say T206s, then you decide, do I go to a ball game with my family or do I pick up a couple T206 HOFers?
Edited to add - yeah, Go Pudres!!! So nice to see Goliath taken down. All season long the Dodgers took it to San Diego, but look what happened when it really counted!

AND THAT'S why we love baseball!
