MLB Needs a Change

Kind of funny how the sport of baseball has seemed less and less interesting over the last couple of years. It really seems to have become a regional sport. When the Boston Red Sox were making a world series run a couple of years ago, I followed every second. However, last year the team was in last place, and I could care less. Meanwhile sports like Football and Basketball have grown in popularity. In football the teams are throwing for more yards and more touchdowns than ever. In the NBA the teams are scoring more and more points, and taking even more shots from downtown. Meanwhile baseball has started to hit less and less home runs. The big plays matter to the casual fan, and if those big plays don't happen as much, then the casual fan will stop watching. Baseball needs to do something if they wan people to start watching again, and not just the old men who still consider it America's pastime.
