As someone that has made the terrible mistake (at least for me) of selling out twice. I can tell you the pull to come back both times was very strong.
I have tried to figure out what has brought me back both times and I think is actually many factors.
1. Love of the game
2. Baseball has so many great collectibles
3. It often takes me back to my childhood when for most of us worries were few and baseball meant being outside among friends.
4. I also have great memories of talking baseball with my Dad (still do at age 92 everyday) and my grandfather and great uncle who both watched and met many of the greats each spring here in Hot Springs.
5. At a certain point in life you are more settled and your wallet allows you to play more too!
With those thoughts I can't forsee me ever giving it up again. By the way neither time did I stay more than a few months.
