What is wrong in the world.
My wife's family had a cookout today. It was at a city park complete with a baseball diamond. Three little boys jump onto the field and I thought the game would soon be forming, then I saw the greatest abomination of my life, they started playing kickball! NOT BASEBALL, KICK BALL! I made a quick inquiry to all the family members there and there were three gloves and one baseball and no bats (the three gloves and ball were mine, I don't carry bats too tempting for the two year old, its a long story).
This is a declarative statement: when a family gets together and can't muster the bodies and equipment for a game of baseball, America's best days are behind it.

Given the greed, steriods, and other polluting factors that have made baseball unrecognizable to those of us that grew up with it, I say good riddance to the game. As long as the BBQ is good, a family outting with a bit of soccer sounds like a blast.
I should add this link to emphasize my points about contemporary baseball:
