Professional baseball has basically become slo-pitch softball with strikeouts. The players today are physically superior to their ball playing predecessors. It's a shame they aren't allowed to learn and implement all aspects of the game.
Regarding pitching and its nauseating specialization; in bygone days, a pitcher was allowed to overcome his fatigue and "reach back" to help his team win by making his start his game, all nine innings of it. This is what sports and life, for that matter, is all about. Rarely do we get to see any pitcher "reach back" today. To steal the "Wide World of Sports" theme, where is the "thrill of victory or the agony of defeat"?
