I'm with Aerozeppelin that I think it's because we have within the past 5-10 years come off
of a huge dynasty of great players, and for the time being, it's tough to be able to replace
the past stars of the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. It's almost like after the First Hall of Fame
inauguration in baseball, all these greats of baseball, like Babe Ruth, and Honus Wager, and Ty
Cobb have left the game and it would seem like it's impossible to find players of that
caliber, and indeed, most players from '35-'50, to me, seemed almost forgotten until a new
batch of great players from the 50s and 60s made their mark on the sport.
I think once strong memories of the old generation leave us, and this present generation
passes by, the next one will start to pop up its fair share of sports heroes.
