Thompson, Miller, Angel in that order. Always enjoyed Brooks as well. Does anyone remember John Lowenstein on HTS?

I have loved baseball for as long as I can remember. Reverence for the numbers. Amazed by the stats of the games legends. Dreams as a child of what it would have been like attending a game at bygone parks like Ebbett's Field or The Polo Grounds. Through scandals and work stoppages, ever increasing salaries and ticket prices, I have followed MLB and my beloved O's. I understand the entertainment value of a ballgame blah, blah, blah... In a nutshell, I have been emotionally invested in the game. It would have been nice to watch some baseball as a diversion from Covid 19 and significant other events happening in the nation. I have found other, more personally satisfying, activities for my time. Watching the billionaire/millionaires fight over every last morsel has finally led me to realize that my love for the game is not reciprocated in the least. Perhaps what I really love about baseball, is the grandeur and mystic of the history and legend of the game, as seen through the eyes of a naive young child growing up in the '70s. Moving forward, I'm sure to follow MLB MUCH less. P.S. Grandchildren are so much fun!
