What Ever Happened to Baseball?

There will be no baseball on Father's Day with dad this year. The MLB organization thinks baseball is not important. 

What ever happened to baseball? Every night on the TV news we learn about the NFL and the MBA, but nothing about baseball. The quarantine due to the Coronavirus had put football and basketball on the back burner momentarily, but we never hear anything about baseball.

Even golf is coming back and won't diehard golfers like that? Yes, Tiger Woods will be back on the fairway.

For the moment baseball owners don't have any real interest in baseball. Chicago Cubs, St Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, and more. Baseball fans can wait. They will be back in 2020, maybe?

At the top of the lists for the moment is power. Owners want control and they bicker for how much control they can get over the MLB organization and their own team. There is no common good. Among men nobody can agree on anything. The other guy is always getting a better deal. Life is unfair. Plea bargaining is at a halt.

Money is the other driving force. Power and money go hand-in-hand together. The heck with anything else.

So whatever happened to baseball in 2020? Who knows. Remember the good old days? A time when a kid would sell newspapers to earn a couple of bucks so he or she could go to a baseball game? Gone are the good old days.

Why is baseball so important? There are lots of things in life with helpful suggestions that baseball fans like to read about. Please allow me to share some of them with you:

(1) Baseball and life helps meet our needs and makes the world a better place to live. Budget, good health, education, and God, are only a few of the many needs available.

(2) Baseball is popular. It's amazing to see baseball parks filled to their capacity every time there is a game. In every town there is a Little League team. Remember the traffic jam last time you went to a game? Nobody wants to miss out on all the action.

(3) Baseball is a good diversional activity for depression. It helps to chase away the troubles of the world.

(4) Baseball is entertaining. Munching on a hot dog and sipping a Coke with friends is great. And it's fun to mark down all the action on a scorecard.

(5) Baseball teaches teamwork. Nine baseball players give fans the thrill of an exciting game. 

So won't you please help us continue to make the world a better place to live?
