When I was a kid it was all baseball all the time. I grew up with it being called America's pastime. I thought it was primarily just played in this country and some international players were anomalies. I found later that it really is a world game and we're really seeing that now. I would still love to see Cuban baseball being played and I think it's time the World Series is more akin to the World Cup.
Like every sport, it seems the level of the game has gone down, but the level of the athlete has perhaps gone up? It could be argued hitters were better back in the days of DiMaggio, Williams and Mantle, but it could also be argued they batted against pitchers with much more tired arms.
Either way, it sure is fun watching some players today and it's too bad it doesn't get the attention other sports do.
