i think a lot of people feel as you do, for the reason's you mentioned in the article. and actually i remember watching a baseball game recently and hearing about how modern players know nothing about the traditions of teams and old time great players. so that is a little concerning. but i don't think its as bad as people make it out to be. the reason i say that is because you have to remember that the media is out there to over dramatize any topic, especially negative ones because they sell. so this generation gets a ton of negative publicity as the media in reporting is at its highest point ever. i will admit, there are some pretty exciting young players, from the new york yankees pitchers, to the kid in colorado, and that maybin kid.. i forget who he is on tampa maybe? good article though, enjoyed reading it.
