E, DanielYou obviously haven't seen the game and its players change much over the last 30 years, with regards to the game itself or their relationships with the public. Same ole same ole for you. Maybe just a big media concoction, ahh, I'd love some conspiracy in there too.
I'm glad you're happy with today's mugs. There's maybe a dozen across the leagues I have much to any respect for.
I don't think they carry the collective jock of the players who came before them... in terms of what they give to the game versus what they take out. They have zero loyalty to the fans, zero loyalty to eachother, and not much loyalty to the game. There's not a Ted Williams or Roberto Clemente amongst them.
But I'm glad for you that you don't see it that way. I'm sure you're able to enjoy the game a whole lot more than I am.
