Whistles!! I think they should give Baseball umpires whistles! And flags! Not those namby-pamby yellow ones like the NFL, but bright red ones! Not sure how we'd use 'em, but certainly would make it more like Football, if that's the goal.

I think the pace of the game—the extra hour or so compared to the "old days"—is only a small part of the problem.
I suspect the key to the sagging interest in MLB is the answer to the question, Why does nobody really care who wins or loses? If you are deeply emotionally involved, the pace of the game becomes irrelevant. People were certainly involved years ago—to the point of exhilaration and despair. I know I was. What happened since the days when the World Series would set records for TV audience?

Found this on the web and watched a bit of it. Game 3 of the 1957 WS, Yankees-Braves. (Looks like a kinescope.)
Far less time between pitches. Hitters had a backdrop of a chain-link fence with trees behind it. On strikes, the PU's arm is up before the pitch hits the mitt. The players seem to swing differently, too, possibly because pitches "at the letters" were strikes in those days. Batters got in the box and stayed there.

Great stuff. Thanks for that greymule. Check out the "check swing" at 76:25.
