Great post, Jeff. For me, what sets baseball apart from other sports is that baseball is the thinking person's game.

I watched every Cubs game as a kid - 1:20pm afternoon games on WGN. It was a summer joy for me. I collected baseball cards (big time). Our annual trek to Wrigley was a rite of passage and something I looked forward to for weeks. I played baseball from age 7 through high school.

I continued to follow and watch baseball through a few years ago. I hate to be so overtly political, but I stopped watching when MLB decided to get political and moved the All-Star game out of Atlanta due to a voting integrity law. They bought into the Democrats and I got out.

That's where I reside today, and I haven't looked back. I have too many other things to do.

I do miss it, though, but it's more nostalgia than something I need.
