What happened to the game the Great American Past time? Umpires throwing people out of games for arguing, throwing at batters and things like that! Teams spending multimillion dollars to have the best players on their team and barley ever relying on their farm system! What happened to the game where you could run a first baseman over and play very competitively with teams and fight to the play-offs instead of letting young talent play in place of "veterans" who take home a hefty paycheck. Teams like the Yankees and Red Sox are only good because they can afford to sign these players for millions of dollars. Prime examples of what teams should be like is the Rays, most of the players on there team have come through their farm system and look at them right now, they are battling it out with the Yankees for the American League Eastern Division. Even though it brings more home runs or RBIs I still think that baseball should have more of its fabulous young talent shine.
