Why Baseball is dying to me.
As a young lad growing up, baseball was one of my first loves, I remember going down to the stadium with my trusty raggedy glove hoping to catch a foul ball, while basking under the sun seeing my so called "heroes" swing for the fences. Sadly
or should I say gladly 
* those days are over.
For many years I have prophesied about the demise of the grand ol’ game. And as each summer passes the prophesy seems to finally becoming to fruition. *While Baseball purists will continue to hold onto to their summer love, millions have said “No Mas” and are turning away from this mundane fossil. Ratings, attendance, are down across the board. Cookie cutter stadiums are being built instead of the 45-50k stadiums of the past, mainly due to the fact the older archaic demographic fans are withering away and younger fans are
, fed up, and turning away due to the lack of a salary cap etc.. Just take a look at ratings and attendance it’s pitiful to be honest.
Last month I went to a baseball game, tickets were cheap the one good thing baseball has going for itself, but you know what brehs?* That was it, there was no passion, no ambience that you feel when going to a football or basketball game. The crowd is dead except for a few drunks, the majority of folks are on their smart phones texting away, or surfing the internet. Turning on the television and watching a nine inning baseball is not any better.
Consider folks, baseball is the only sport without a time limit. It's like going to a movie with long pauses in between, which can end whenever it feels like with small bursts of action here and there. In this twitter, facebook, social media generation, the slow methodical game is turning into a fringe sport right before our eyes, baseball is now only for fantasy nerds, 35-49 year olds, swagless cats who know what sabermetrics is and Dominicans
I say good riddance
