We all celebrate all the old ballplayers.
But it occurs to me, will we celebrate any of the modern-day ballplayers like this? I seriously doubt it.
I totally agree with you on both comments!
Tatis reminds me of Brock. We’ll see.
That’s partly due to greed where Players have no loyalty whatsoever to the Team, City, or Fans while they make millions to play a game.
The Teams in turn could care less about the Fans (See Detroit Tigers 2007-present) and have contempt for them for some crazy reason. Cable contracts with fox and ESPN plus merchandise make enough that they’d rather have cardboard cutouts in the stands than have messy kids and real passionate beer and red-hot consuming fans in the stands.
But the owners will do their best to appear “woke” while the surviving Kaline, Mays, Killebrew, Robinson, Powell, Garvey, and Mantle, etc. fans wonder what happened to what was Baseball.
And why their grandkids don’t want to play in little league or go the the park and play catch and “pepper”.
