Don't give me that beauty of the game crap because it's just crap. Most fans barely understand the game. You might but yo ...[text shortened]... nerations baseball will have half the fans it has today and it is at its lowest number in years.
You are OBVIOUSLY one of those "fans" who doesn't know squat about the game.
This is not particularly surprising though.
If you ever "played the game" (and I don't mean Little League where
your parents enrolled you...but rather at a higher level...at least high
school level) you would learn the nuances of the inner game.
That is when you can watch a game for the art rather than to be entertained.
EDIT: Oh, and by the way, people have been projecting the demise of
baseball for over 100 years now. The game is still there and growing
in world wide appeal. Not only is the game huge in America, but also
throughout Latin America, Canada, Cuba and the Dominican, and Japan,
but now into Italy, Israel, the Middle East, China and Southeast Asia.
