I love the game.
I hate MLB with the flaming passion of a million flaming suns. It (and its lack of parity) is the biggest joke in professional sports. Unfortunately it also enjoys a Congressionally-sanctioned monopoly, so there won't ever be any real competition. Instead, I wish dearly for:
- salary caps
- league parity
- INTRA-league parity (for both the AL & NL)
- an end to the reign of free agency and a return to players that have club loyalty
- an end to the era of the long ball (re-elevate the pitchers' mounds, stop building parks designed to generate 3-4 home runs per game)
There's little better than going to the ballpark on a nice summer day and watching a good competitive game. That said, the fact that MLB teams are one's only real choice (other than pick-up games at the local park, or beer league games) sucks. I despise MLB but I love the game from both a strategic and tactical standpoint.
