Are we all sold on the idea of nine innings? ;-)

Not sure. I think that 9 innings have been the standard for only about 140 - 150 years or so.

Don’t screw with the game. The length of the game has gone up for reasons that have little to do with the game itself.

It is society that has changed, not baseball. Every one is on a hyperactive cycle where if you haven’t checked Facebook in the last 30 seconds one is so out of it.

The Sunday afternoon drive through the country with your family has been replaced with so many gadgets and gizmos that no one has time anymore to just contemplate their time.
