Baseball
TRay's post prompted a certain amount of sadness for me with his off handed remark about the fact that baseball is no longer hs favorite sport.
I hear this way too often these days and I fear that the damage MLB players and owners have done to the GREATEST game will not be fully understood for some 10-15 years. Greed and infighting has turned many of us longtime baseball fans off in varying degrees but the single biggest mistake has been the failure to lure young fans to the game.
Growing up I remember bits and pieces about regular season games but the World Series and All Star games are etched in my memory. THOSE were the game that most excited me in my youth.
Do you realize that many of todays young people have never even seen a World Series or All Star game live via TV? Does that strike anyone else as sad?
Here's to hoping that MLB realizes it's mistakes...and begins immrediately to correct them....
