Excuse me for borrowing the title of one of my favorite baseball movies, but it is a perfect title for this post. Baseball is at a crossroads in my humble opinion. For years, I was a traditionalist. Still prefer the old-style NL game. But it this day and age, that kind of baseball has become very boring for the most part… at least to younger fans. And that is where the future of the game lies.
Promotions and giveaways fuel the attendance, and in some cases, star players. I doubt the Angels would draw as well as they do without Mike Trout.
