Why is it that fans of the game are always so ready to predict the professional game's death? It wasn't going to last when it was played by "hooligans and ruffians" over 100 years ago, or after the Black Sox, or through WWII, or in the '60's when ERA's went micro, or because of the strikes & lockouts, or because of steroids, or the expansion dilution, and peroidically because of the Yankees.

There are many reasons to follow the game, and one is because the games are played....and they are beautiful to watch. All 162, not just the post season.

The Arod trade will spark interest in the game, if only because it will swell the ranks of people rooting against the Yankees. There have been eras when the Yankees dominated, there have been eras when they haven't. And when they're on a roll...it sure is fun to watch them get beat.
