Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5337414, member: 1268"] What district? What are they wearing? Surely it isn't Lax and track merch. I wouldn't look at the NE as a great example of the majority of the country as it's not a hotbed for baseball talent, or football talent. An observation - the NFL's entertainment value is highly predicated on one position, the QB. In the NFL, there are maaaybe 10 QBs every year that can win a SB. There are usually 10 teams still trying to find or figure out their QB situation. High demand, massively low supply. The profile is a strong armed 6'4" 225 guy. There are 200 plus of those guys in MLB - pitchers are hosses these days, yet they all opt to play baseball instead of football. Baseball's next move is making their 162 game slog more meaningful. We are not in a world where the new gen can endure that kind of marathon. It honestly makes no sense either - 162 games to determine a 3 game WC? C'mon. The one thing about baseball that's changed drastically over the last 20 years is simply a lack of personality. Back in the 80's through early 2000's, when I watched, there were so many unique player profiles. There were pitchers with funky mechanics & batting stances, their own way of doing. This day and age, the mechanics have all standardized to the point of everyone looking the same. There's no fat knuckle ballers, submariners, fat guys that mashed. [/QUOTE]
