Baseball is probably aware of its crossroads. The young will not accept the game and its traditions because it is slow and boring because of its slowness. The old have accepted baseball's traditions and hold on. There is now a conflict of interest between the generations and the traditionalist are dieing off because of old age. Baseball just wants the money which means commercials which causes interruptions and the young will not tolerate this so hard decisions have to be made. To sustain itself baseball has to accommodate the young. Because of baseball not moving in a timely manner, a generation has turned its back on the game. Baseball better speed up the pitchers and ban the batters from leaving the box in additions to others things that breach traditional baseball or be be prepared for a bad future.
