That was my feelings exactly.....until my young son asked "Daddy, can we go see a real baseball game?" Years of disgust and promising myself I'd never go back went right out the window with that one little question. The next question is...Is watching the Tigers real baseball?
Through the 90's and until this year, the answer was NO. This year they are at least entertaining and I get sheer joy out of watching my son enjoy "a real baseball game." I never let him hear me muttering under my breath about the time greed took baseball away from me:(
