Remember Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, Ken Griffey Jr, etc.? We need competitions and stars like these back in the game. Back in the day the Cubes could be 10 runs down but if Sosa hit a homer in the 9th inning it was a good day. I don’t know how to capture that energy but I’d love to see it come back to the game.
Maybe due to instant entertainment, Netflix and cell phones it’ll never happen but maybe we could tweak the game and bring back that energy.
I'm guessing you didn't happen to catch the Astros last season. They did exactly what you are talking about time and time again. It was one of the most amazing baseball seasons I've ever followed as a diehard fan of the sport for over 35 years.
Yes, last season was awesome. The Astros' rebuild was worth the wait. And every minute of the playoffs was worth watching with some great teams involved. But the point is to get people to watch it.
I didn’t. Sadly I’ve been too busy to sit down and watch a game, plus I don’t have cable or an antenna.
