Haven't been much of a fan since my D.C. team was stolen almost 65 years ago, followed by a terrible expansion franchise, then no team for 34 years followed by a totally depleted franchise. Of course, the great Nationals teams of 2012-2119 revived my interest, and this year, mostly due to the pitch clock, I have enjoyed watching the playoffs even though my team's not in it. I do agree with most, however, that almost all the new rules other than that are some of the dumbest anybody could ever have conceived of, starting with the DH, of course, and devolving in stupidity from there.
