Ball parks are smaller and baseballs are livelier. They've practically got pitchers wearing straitjackets. Bah! They still allow the knuckleball, and that is three times as hard to control.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my opinion, baseball is as big a business as anything there is. It has to be a business, the way it is conducted.
In the old days, you know, they didn't have batting cages. And in most ball parks, they only had one runway to the dugout.
I felt like the world of baseball in 1919 was much closer to what A-ball would be now - guys riding buses, there's no training staff, and there's a lot of paranoia.
After a month or so in St. Louis, we were looking around desperately for a way to draw a few people into the ball park, it being perfectly clear by that time that the ball club wasn't going to do it unaided.
These old ballparks are like cathedrals in America. We don't have big old Gothic cathedrals like they do in Europe. But we got baseball parks.
Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.
Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.
Baseball is a poorly run business.
Baseball is my escape. The sights, the sounds, the way the park smells. There is truly no place I would rather be than at a game.
The baseball fights, you don't ever see the squaring off like you do in hockey, and in some instances, that's where baseball fights can be potentially more dangerous because you've got guys running all over the place and people throwing punches at you that you don't even see half the time.
