MLB is becoming a business where the players get too much money and they intentionally lose.

Thank you for accepting! TO BEGIN. Even though I did not live in the 80s, I have watched some world series games from that time and there are many differences between baseball then and now. Watch the video. There's a different atmosphere of baseball. . http://www.youtube.com... One thing that's different are the spectators. On the video, watch the fans. They are so excited and loud, and not just because of the food! When I go to ball games (I live near the MN Twins stadium) I have noticed how a lot of the fans are on their devices, (1); and eating and drinking up a storm [2] (baseball stadiums are not a place to get wasted! ). A side subject: the MN Twins got a new stadium. That effects the percentage of the different people who go there now. Because of the fact that it's a new park, the fans are MOSTLY just going so they can go home and tell their friends "I just went to Target Field" and it's no longer about the team winning or losing. The only reason that fits with the subject is because (I think) the Major League Baseball business, or for that matter ANY professional sport business, should stop putting millions of dollars into newer, modern stadiums. :) It's just one thing that ruins the ambience of baseball. THE PLAYERS. About drugs, I wouldn't say they were MORE popular in the 80s and 90s, but at that time precursors or performance enhancer drugs were not illegal in MLB. .. who knows who was using what at that time. But you could tell when they were over-using and abusing the drugs, and that's all that really matters. . http://mlb.mlb.com... It was the 1920-50s when players would sometimes try to "fix" games; such as try to lose (for money or something). Do you know about Shoeless Joe Jackson? If not watch Field of Dreams (I love that movie), he was an amazing outfielder/player but he got caught in the Black Sox Scandal and was forever banned from playing in the Major Leagues. So it's not THAT big of a problem now. In fact I was wrong about the title where they intentionally lose nowadays. Let's see who catches that. .. what do you think? . http://en.wikipedia.org... This website below here has a story about a pitcher who was "intentionally" throwing the ball at the batter. Conspiracies like this are dumb because now (a) the rules and managers are involved, (b) we don't know if the pitcher was doing it on purpose or not, or, (c) assuming the pitcher was doing it intentionally, that wouldn't have happened in the 1900s because it was a different ball game back then. . http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com... #4 The players don't try as hard. You can tell by the work ethic we see out in the field and it takes the exciting feel out of the game. Players should have a personality that we (the fans) can talk about even out of the stadium; little things such as doing a happy dance when you're safe or you got a good hit. (The video above shows some signature players doing their signature dances! !! ) Now days we have things like "walk on music" and big screens [in the stadiums] where we can see the individual players' facts and life outside baseball, but that isn't the same as the players actually SHOWING their personality on the field. Hard to explain but I think you get what I mean. RULES. Things have changed in baseball because the mangers want to keep the game safer. My opinion is you should let the players do their thing without restrictions or extra rules that will help them be safer, because it effects each game and makes everything more boring (as if baseball isn't already kind of boring at times! ). Simple things such as this (below) drain some fun out of the ball game. The second site isn't that bad and some people think it's a good idea to keep the players safer, but the more the media and outside managers get involved, the more the game will be influenced. It think: let the players play the game! Some are forgetting that baseball's a sport. You're bound to get hurt, in fact that's one thing that makes the game more exciting. . http://mlb.mlb.com... . http://www.cleveland.com... What do you think? !
