The jerks are often ‘purists’ who moan about destroying the game. In my opinion they are just jerks (misogynists, people who can’t handle change, cynical about everything - I don’t know - maybe just jerks covers it). Blacks, foreign players, the DH, inter-league play were all things that were going to destroy baseball. If anything destroys baseball it will be the usual suspects - greed and stupidity.
My recent baseball happiness? Watching Tim Anderson and Luis Robert hit back to back home runs the other night. And watching this dude flop to the ground when he got ‘beaned’. Well played.
Oh, and while the White Sox lost yesterday, everyone should watch the replays on how they got their lone run. Winds were crazy at Sox park and three pop ups in a row had the Mariners’ infield running all over the place.
