I love the game of baseball. Have since I first picked up a bat at the age of 7. That was 70 years ago, and oh how the game has changed. I like to think that I saw the game when it was still in its purest form. No DH, starters went 9. Strikeouts were a bad thing, and players BA, and pitchers win totals mattered. They were the standard by which players got paid.
They wore those wool uniforms and played on fields that were not as manicured as the ones today. When the Giants were in New York, they played at the Polo Grounds, a massive place where balls hit to center field went to die.
