Why have I lost interest in baseball?

I grew up watching the Braves on TBS with my dad, and there are many fond memories there. The aforementioned Sid Bream score is a big one.

Baseball was my favorite sport as a kid, although it's the game I sucked at the most! I was better at basketball, which I liked least. I also lost interest around Jordan's retirement, for pretty much the same reasons as Danno.

I still love baseball, though. I'm watching the MLB Network right now. I guess strikes, steroids, speed (it's a slow game) and saturation (Yankees, Red Sox, rinse, repeat) combined to turn many folks away. But I still get excited for opening day, and watching baseball always makes me smile.
