Tombstone should read:
The great national pastime has died today after years of not caring for its fans, the workers dependent on its industry, or the tradition of the game. They will play again but please, let’s drop the prefix “ America’s national pastime.” It is no longer deserving of the compliment.
Welcome to the 1960s when baseball was beloved. ! A decade of change and excitement in Major League Baseball. It started with Mantle and Maris and ended with the “AMAZIN” Mets. In between, there was the pitching of Koufax and Drysdale, Bob Gibson, Denny McClain and Tom Seaver. Relive the heroics of Mazeroski, the Robinsons, “Hammerin” Hank and Yaz. Also view,arguably, the most exciting pennant race finish of all time, the 1967 Bosox triumph. And let’s not neglect the rise to power of the lowly Pirates. All this and so much more. A great time to spread the word to friends and family. Subscribe today - it’s FREE!
