My biggest gripe is a sport that has trouble hooking fans is doing everything they can to kill the closest connection to the youth (minor league baseball). That makes great long term sense...

Baseball is basically the only game in town come July. American's like beer. That's my well thought out counter point.
There's got to be a couple dozen books about this.

Baseball's needs to focus on the younger generation. Little leagues, rec leagues, legion baseball is becoming smaller and smaller. Kids play their favorite sport year round, and play video games in their spare time. The game of baseball is boring to many of them. Don't get me wrong, the high level travel baseball is great. The talent level is as high at it has ever been. However they are missing the kids that just play for enjoyment and may not have the talent to play higher level baseball. Many of those kids quit playing very early and never become fans that the game desperately needs to grow.

The one thing I think is funnier is when people get on baseball about not all the teams having a fair chance but then they'll praise the NBA where you can narrow down the team that's going to win the championship for about four teams before they even start training camp
