These ancient “unwritten rules” are what makes baseball the greatest sport in the world. No other sport has these…

I don't know. I don't think I've ever said "I'm so in love with this game because XYZ never offends anyone."
I started watching baseball in 1990s. People were saying Griffey was horrible for wearing his hat backward. Griffey is the undeniable favorite modern player for collectors.
Today, there is just something about watching Elly de la Cruz. He is young, a diamond in the rough, but he is bringing people to baseball. His bat flips, eagerness, smile, it's contagious. I've worn Reds hats and jerseys for years. Nobody cared. Now random people walk past me and stop me to say things. And it's no longer, "Are you a Chicago Bears fan?"
Shohei Ohtani is just boring, regardless of his talent. Rickey being Rickey made people love him or hate him.
