How Do I Enjoy Baseball again?
I used to love baseball. As a kid, I played organized ball, collected cards, and went to several Jays games a season. Later, my friends and I would make the trip downtown to catch as many games as possible, and I've been to the Hall of fame in Cooperstown twice. When the Jays won the world series, it was a highpoint.
But thanks to the last strike, drug scandals, yankee domination, roster clearing and a poor home team with higher ticket prices, I've haven't followed MLB hardly at all. Despite loving the game itself, I just can't get swept up in the spirit of things.
The Red Sox winning the World series helped a bit, but now I'm back in my old funk: The only stories you ever read these dayse are business and labour related. I don't know any of the players anymore, and I'm skeptical of the two leagues playing each other during the regular season.
How can I come back to the sport I love and enjoy it? I considered entering the TFP fantasy league, but would have been useless at the draft.
Is there any hope for me?
