Generally speaking, I think the game today is as good as it was "back in the day". I was an 86 Mets era fan, and the only thing I wish is that there is more focus on defense and small ball in the modern game (noting that the Yankees dropped trou in the World Series because they can't play defense). I wouldn't mind seeing some more bench clearing brawls also.
But the athleticism, speed, power pitching, faster pace, MLB TV -- so I can watch the White Sox play the Rockies if I'm looking for the occasional minor league game. I think it's a better product overall now.
