Geno, I think it might be because the turn-of-the-century players remind us more of how we played baseball as kids - you got beat up, you stayed in the game, you loved it. They played small-ball, which is what little leaguers were taught in the '60s, they used the same ball until it was black (just like we did). It was just a more pure game. The stuff today is generally hard to stomach, but it's all we have.
