"Oh for the good ol' days, when they played the games one after another, in the daytime. Folks walking around with transistor radios. TVs on in study halls, businesses, offices... The cool days of autumn, a few leaves blowing across the sidewalk, and whoever you met knew the score within an inning or two past. Traveling was done at night. Baseball was more important than prime time, market share, ratings, and all."

More people get to see the games if they are played at night. People that want to go back to the "good old days" would rather have 50 million people miss the games and only 20 million catch them live? Sure, its all about money, but where is the money coming from? Its coming from more people actually being able to see the games on TV. That is good. It is better than the so-called "good old days".
