Sorry to be so philosophical but hey it’s a quiet Saturday morning.

I turned 60 in June, and I'm definitely feeling the same way. I tend to dive in to anything related to baseball's past, rather than today's game. Not to say there isn't some good stuff going on today, but it just doesn't seem the same. I won't even get in to Football and Basketball which is so far removed from the games I loved as a child, it's not funny.
