Seems like a little bit of recency bias to me. Maybe some of that is due to the explosion in available items over the last 30-35 years.

I remember a listing of the 100 greatest moments in baseball that came out a few years ago, and most of them were in the last 20 years. At the time, I remember thinking that a lot of older history was ignored simply because it had faded from the popular imagination. But that shouldn't make it any less important!
