How was your Fourth of July? What did you do? I'm curious because, after all, it's the heart of summer and most of you had the day off, and in today's world, there are countless ways to spend leisure time.
You know what a heck of a lot of people did Wednesday? They went to baseball games. Well, since teams' attendance figures reflect ticket sales rather than turnstile counts, it would be more accurate to say that a heck of a lot of people paid to go to baseball games.
Much of the rhetoric generated by the first half of the baseball season has been about what has changed in the game, what is changing and what needs to be changed going forward.
