I miss the days when ...

middle-aged (and older) dudes didn't whine and complain incessantly about how much better baseball was when they were twelve years old . . .

Oh wait, there never were days like that. People have been making these same complaints for more than a century - it's only the specific things that change.

I miss the days when players didn't need gloves for their weak and delicate hands.

I miss the days when it took 9 balls to give up a walk. We want to see the ball put in play, not a bunch of undeserved baserunners.

I miss the days when pitchers threw underhand. Overhand pitching? Might as well just put the ball on a tee.

I might have more to share later, but my opium based medication is kicking in for the disease I have will surely kill me before I'm 50 years old.
