Anyway, my favorite is the 70s although I am playing deadball right now. I think you will find that everyone chooses the decade when their love for the game was formed (thus, my love for 70s ball) unless it was so recent that they have had to go back in time and learn to appreciate the dead ball era.

You can scratch for runs just as easily with 1 pitch as with pbp... just as you can sit back and wait for homers with 1 pitch as with pbp... As far as choosing the era you love; some of us who grew up loving the 60's or 70's or 80's learned the COMPLETE history of the game and grew to love other era's as well or better while some people with limited attention span are unable to actually study the history of this great game. Unfortunately not only do you have a limited attention span but also a lack of respect for others.

Me being a Red Sox fan, I would have to say the 60's. Especially 1967. Carl Yastrzemski hitting for the Triple crown. Red Sox 100-1 shot of making the world series. How can you ask for any better?

How about a Civil War era league, where the North and the South decide to settle their differences on the diamond:

"The parade ground has been a busy place for a week or so past, ball-playing having become a mania in camp. Officer and men forget, for a time, the differences in rank and indulge in the invigorating sport with a school boy's ardor."
