I certainly didn't pick up my love for the history of the game from MLB Network. I grew up well before the Internet, and certainly never saw ruth or Cobb play. I never saw mantle or mays either. Griffey and Ripken were the legends of my era. And yet, despite no MLB Network or Internet, and despite being raised in Miami (as opposed to NYC, Boston or Detroit), I loved the history. My dad didn't care about baseball, and I never played the sport. It's just in us or it's not.
A ty cobb-back sold on heritage last night for over 400k. You think that was some baby-boomer lying on his deathbed placing bids? I would be willing to bet that more kids today know who Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb were than Woodrow Wilson or Rutherford B Hayes. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but it certainly says a lot about their legacies. Last edited by orly57; 02-25-2018 at 09:32 AM.
