Baseball is evolving at a pretty rapid pace, from everything to an increased focus on analytics, pitchers throwing harder than ever, and home runs flying out of ballparks at a record pace. It’s a pretty traditional game, but things are evolving just as pretty much anything will eventually.
Part of that evolution is in the attitude of baseball fans, especially when it comes to some of the “unwritten” rules of baseball. Tradition and respect will always be important between the lines, and that will never go away for “America’s past time”, but I noticed a big difference over the weekend from even just a few years ago.
