Matthew Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm green with envy about you all getting to visit the Hall of Fame. I'd die a happy man if I ever get to see it. Try to plan for it- become a kid again! Can't speak for Matthew, but speaking for myself, with all of the steroid/etc. stuff that's gone on, I've lost any emotional involvement that I ever had with sports. And at one time, that involvement was very intense. Wish I could become a kid again. Definitely, during the whole Steroid Era I found myself not as involved as before, I just hated the style of the game, and thought baseball was a fraud -- I mean, in what kind of alternate universe does Brady Anderson hit 51 home runs? Even Captain Picard can't repair that rip in the space/time continuum. However, as baseball started to clean up, I became more and more engaged with the game again. I really enjoyed last season, being able to follow the Giants the whole season was a very enjoyable experience. There's just something about the game itself, that I truly love; I cannot remember when I was not following baseball in my life. I can do without the bs that surrounds the game now, but you cannot go back in history to when I first watched the game as a kid, where a player spent his whole career with one team (I would love to see that happen again though). I always thought a trip to the HofF would be the coolest thing in the world. Baseball does have a wonderful and unique history, and that history of the game is something I've always loved and never tired of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I have a very dim view of the steroid era- and baseball is now reverting back to what I perceive is "normal"...runs are down, HRs are down, pitching performances are better. I've reconnected with baseball by umpiring youth baseball and softball games- to me it's enjoyable and I can be a role model for the kids. We also attend Richmond Flying Squirrels games (AA Eastern League). I'd rather watch minor league baseball rather than MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
