Baseball could do without the Superstitions. They can e so odd and nonsensical. It alienates the younger generation that look for ways to engage in the game. what’s your view on pitch clocks? My son had waaaay too many super-late little league games that had to be ended arbitrarily due to darkness, and player safety, that I expect pitch clocks will eventually become accepted and possibly save a game that cannot meet the needs of folks that keep a schedule.

I am 100% pro pitch clocks. There’s way too much screwing around in baseball and no reason for games to be as long as they are.

Agreed. I’m generally of the mind that baseball needs some serious updating. Unless a person is a huge fan of The Sandlot”, “Field of Dreams, or”TheNatural, baseball is increasingly difficult to engage with.
