We know all about the flaws, but we live for moments of perfection: special achievements such as no-hitters and reaching historic milestones or simply listening to a game on the radio make baseball worth following.
WE ALL KNOW BASEBALL'S faults. We've certainly discussed them in detail several months during the off-season. We know the greed, the abuses, Barry Bonds. We know the Yankees have too much money, the Devil Rays have too little, and that come October it will pretty much be the same ol' teams.
We know this.
We know baseball is too slow for the PlayStation generation, and that the lack-of-visionaries who run the game have lost a generation of fans by starting World Series games past the bedtimes of kids who they're counting on to buy tickets.
We know this.
And yet ...
We come today to praise baseball, not to join the pile-up upon it.
Baseball may no longer be the national pastime--betting on NFL games has overtaken it--but the game still has a way of grabbing hold of your soul and not letting go. With that in mind, we offer these reasons why baseball is still worth your time:
