I don't think you are following me. I'm saying there is no such thing as a purist. People that call themselves that are deceiving themselves. Hence, my example of no lights.

Things change, that's the way it goes. Personally I like having digital cable so I can dial up my choice of games every night. If I was a purist, I wouldn't get the chance to do that, cause the games would be played in the afternoon when I'm at work.

Do I like the DH? No

Do I like interleague play? No

Do I think there is 2 teams too many in baseball? Yes

Do I think the strike zone is not called properly? Yes

Do I hate the softball type uniforms? Yes

Am I a purist/traditionalist? No

I like retractable roofs and wildcards and the unbalanced schedule. Without the unbalanced schedule you might as well have the whole league in one division and the top 4 make the playoffs.

So, I think mixing the past with the present is good. There's nothing wrong for hankering for the "good old days", but hey, to todays younger people, these days are their future "good old days".
