The length of games was never an issue. Maybe having four teams with all the good players was a bigger problem?

If innings are shorter, shouldn’t they actual take it to the sixth inning? I mean, in the spirit of why the sales stop in the first place.

Dodgers resign player diagnosed with schizophrenia just so he can access their healthcare services (no plans for him to play)

good on them
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
