Steve,
There is one irrefutable fact that JR cannot deny: Baseball is still America's nostalgic sport, a game that has charm and character unlike any sport. No other sport has served as integral a part of our nation's history as has Baseball.
Its charm, its allure, its history, its nostalgia, its sense of wonderment and more has not been matched at all by football, basketball, or any other sport.
James Earl Jones's character in Field of Dreams says it quite well, BTW. His speech on Ray's field brings some tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
