“Chicks dig the long ball.”
All the professional sports started to try to attract more women into watching starting in the 70s. That’s what ultimately ruined sports.

Greed don't help either. Most sports used to be team games - now it's every man for himself.

"And another part of my youth slips into the black hole. If there was ever a pitcher more feared than Bob Gibson I sure don't know who that might be." Agree... Although I was already in my 40's when he was pitching...

".... a senior citizen!" For security reasons (against the "let'em die" operators of obamacare and pandemic old-folks storage centers) I can only reveal that the numbers 8 & 7 (in that order) are involved, as of this November...
However, the thing that keeps me "thinking" young was marrying a girl, in 1958, who was 6-years younger than me... (Robbing the cradle pays off...{:-)

The passing of Lou Brock a couple weeks ago really brought back those memories.
