These are grown men playing a children's game for a living, after all. How serious should you be?

Well, ask a players agent how serious baseball is. And I am not begrudging anyone making what they can. It is a game, but kind of a high stakes one.
I was out with the 1994 half season strike. I just really never went back to it. Too many other things to distract me. And I am happy there are so many fans today. If baseball wasn't popular then collecting baseball cards wouldn't be as popular and fun. New baseball stuff is great for 98% of the guys on this forum, probiably. Then, there are the other 2 percent of us.
I loved playing baseball (still pay a little softball) and watching the games when I was younger. If everyone were the same the world would be a boring place. Go Rangers!
