Somehow Mal, you calling me ignorant is not exactly hurtful; the stupidest thing I ever saw on this forum was you bitching about newbies who dared to ask a question, and then posting under another name (Big Johnson) to defend yourself. Im sure you were a meek follower at 19, and look where it got you. I listen to people who know what they are talkin about and deserve some respect.
Taffarel and Sox, thanks for your responses. I do believe that experience does have a lot to do with knowledge, but I think that this alone is not a complete qualifier or the only way to gain the knowledge. To the rest of the "purists," I disagree with many aspects of baseball today (such as the DH; the NL is much more fun and more strategic to watch) but I think baseball is always evolving, and will continue to do so in the future. Someone earlier mentioned that we think its best when we enjoyed it the most; I think thats a good way to look it.
Also, one last question to any baseball purist, and this is something Im genuinely curious about: From your perspective, is any change in baseball bad or just the specific change ?
thanks,
Aadik
