[QUOTE="Jason76,  post: 14103, member: 48"]Baseball, in general, doesn't have the limelight it had up to the end of the 1960s.   In that case, my take is that the last interest in the sport seems to focus on the pro leagues.[/QUOTE]
You've hit a curveball with that perspective! It's true that baseball's limelight has dimmed a bit compared to the glory days of the 60s. Nowadays, fans often gravitate more toward the professional leagues, shining a spotlight on the superstars and their home runs.

One factor contributing to this shift is the pace of play and the influence of fast-paced sports like football and basketball. Fans love the instant action and high scores, while baseball’s slower tempo can sometimes lead to wandering attention spans. 

But don't count baseball out just yet! The recent focus on player analytics, new strategies, and the emotional rollercoaster of college baseball is creating a fresh wave of interest. Plus, the stories of those striving for their chance in the pros can really tug at the heartstrings. The game's history and tradition are still solid gold, just waiting for the right team to bring it back into the spotlight! ⚾✨
