USED to be every sandlot had kids playing the game. These days, it's only played by Little League kids and even those are fading away QUICKLY (At least here in Jacksonville) As far as adults go......Just MY opinion.......MLB is tougher n tougher to follow. Outside of hometown fans, like Mama and her Cards or you Dodger fans. Simply clicking on a game is a drag, unless you are a Yankees or Red Sox fan. I like the Cubs but even they are tough to see on TV. Even worse for me now because we dumped cable. It's mostly MLB packages ($$$$$)
But maybe worst of all...Again , just OPINION.....The quality of the game REALLY sucks! Everyone is swinging for the fences.....Hustle is PATHETIC......Too many fragile Show Boaters who make a big production after a HR BUUUUUUUT blow their minds at the first chin music pitch . Chin Music USED to be strategy!
Where have hit n runs gone?? Hitting BEHIND the runner???? "The Shifts" by infields are proof just how bad hitting is in MLB.
The whole Oakland As thing is a BAD look for MLB. I also think the season is simply too long. Once Football starts, a LOT of people are done with baseball.
I have seen several interview with Pete Rose on the MLB. He gets it.
