Lost most interest in the game after one of the player strikes when they were crying for more money & had a shortened season. Of course the greed by the owners is a huge turn off as well. I'd watch it on TV when I felt like it, but I never paid for a sports channel to get games on TV. When the YES network had a contract dispute with my satellite company & I lost the channel entirely, I stopped watching. I have only been to four games in the last 30 years & three of them were free when I was given a ticket. The one I paid for was actually the last year that the old Yankee Stadium was still being used & the new one was being built next to it. I took my wife & son so they could at least see the place before it was gone.

When rules or ways the game is played change it's always hard to get used to it. I didn't think the DH was a good idea but got used to it. I used to like seeing pitchers get 20+ wins regularly but now it's rare that they get 20 starts. I'd get used to the new rules even if I don't like them. You can adapt, it's part of life. The things I can't adapt to are shelling out $250 a month for TV, $20 hot dogs, $30 beers, $12 candy bars, & all after paying the equivalent of the GDP of a small country for tickets to crappy seats with some drunken loudmouth standing in front of me ready to jump on to the field to have a fist fight with the umpire.

I still love baseball, always did. I even went & tired out for a minor league team in 1995 & met the manager who played for the the Detroit Tigers when I was a kid, Ron LeFlore. (I didn't make the team by the way...LOL)
