Oh how I wish hitting a triple wasn’t the only way to get to third base.

Every one of them a fourth year freshman at Florida State, and they all want world peace and to be a veterinarian, because they love children, and to pay off their plastic surgery bills. (apologies to Julie Brown?)
Sorry, guys, but this doesn’t exactly add anything to the sport. If it catches on, you can say “good bye” to the idea that baseball is a thinking man’s game.

I find that professional sports sites are becoming more and more like amusement parks.

Come on. 3 hours of sitting eating peanuts.
Baseball is losing its place as a relevant sport to most Americans who prefer football and NASCAR.
They need to do something to make the sport interesting again. Cheerleaders might not be the answer, but what is? More Homeruns? Power hitters? A Lower mound? Shorter fences? Batters clocks to speed up at bats? Aluminum bats? All Star games to determine home field for the World Series? Interleague games? Wild Card teams?
I enjoy baseball, but I am not a purist. It happens that I certainly enjoy scantily clad 20something hotties more than sports. The game needs to change or it will die.

Justin, perhaps you’re not the target audience. IMO, what would get baseball back would be real grass, day games, good concessions at a reasonable price, and dads. I can hardly think of another sport that is so well transmitted from father to son, and hardly transmitted otherwise. Maybe golf or hunting would qualify.
And, of course, every team needs ivy on the outfield wall, or at least a “green monster.”

Don’t they like blondes in Florida?

Or a center field flagpole that’s in play, or a memorial park just past the outfield wall…

Or a roof on the stadium that makes it look like the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man lives there.
