As a relatively young person following what seems to be a generation of nostalgic individuals, I often push back on some accepted truths, as growing up, it’s easy to pick up that everyone tends to romanticize the past in some way or another. That’s not to say that there weren’t many wonderful things in the past, but problems existed just like they do today, and all wasn’t inherently better.
Bringing that conversation to baseball, there is plenty to talk about from the game back in the day, and there’s certainly a feeling of nostalgia. After all, for past generations, baseball was the biggest sport in the United States; it ruled the land like the NFL does today.
