One of the strengths of baseball was always its adherence to tradition. Mike Schmidt, Hank Aaron, Joe Dimaggio, and Babe Ruth all played the same game as Honus Wagner.
Owners have lost sight of that and have untethered themselves from the game's historical roots, so it's no wonder that a lot of older fans no longer find the current game appealing.
