Ted Williams blamed the media for his strained relationship with the fans. He eventually made peace with the Boston fans. That was much more of a two way street. It's Barry Bonds who owes an apology to baseball fans....I won't hold my breath.

As far as baseball fans not really acknowlidging today's players I think that's pretty much the way it has always been. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Williams, Mays, Aaron...well not many of today's players can live up to those names. When you bring up names like Michael Jordan who else compares? Gretzky shattered records by more than double.
