>>63134192I grew up watching baseball back when it was still based, watched the '86 series w/ my Dad, and I was hooked
People actually cared about baseball more than any other sport back then, literally every other sport was an after thought unless you lived in the area of a franchise
EVERYONE had a team they loved, regardless of where they lived, I grew up in Idaho and pretty much picked Minnesota arbitrarily, whatever, I was 5
The Strike changed everything, so many people felt betrayed by the whole thing. Disenfranchised if you will.. and the games influence has been very slow returning
I only just started following full seasons again back in the '12 season cause of Puig, and this post season has been refreshing to me. Controversy, max capacity stadiums, the fighting and rivalry
I missed this shit, man
seriously, go to Jewtube and watch some basedball from the 70-80's era
the '87 series was motherfucking epic, pretty much what made me a lifetime Twinkie fan
I hope people start watching again, I've sen more people wearing ball caps around here recently
