Sports used to be about the sport.  Now we have to endure an hour of pre-game "sports talk" with "personalities" acting foolish, creative commercials costing millions per minute, stats and analysis that sometimes require degrees in those topics to follow...or even care about... and now a garish aquarium behind home plate.  Puleeeezzee!

It's all about the money Pauline.  I gave up on pro baseball when the "good old boys" forced out Marge Schott in Cincinnati.  She was a threat because she believed the ticket prices should be such that any family in the area could afford to bring their kids and enjoy a ball game.

Yep, cannons, fireworks, water falls, slides, dressed up mascots racing around, even Bill Veeck would be surprised... .....

I just finished reading the Wikipedia on Bill Veeck. What a life in baseball! Quite an innovator/promoter!

Yeah, that's all that was wrong with Marge Schott.
