But you're ignoring other things bad about previous eras.
We could still have whites only if the game didn't evolve.
We could still have the Yankees vs Dodgers every season if the game didn't evolve.

Evolution of the game is inevitable and it's silly to be against anything that is inevitable. And the evolution you're calling bad is good for winning games. That's their job - those in charge. You win games, you get playoff revenue, you become a winning brand and you make more money that way. Except with all of the revenue sharing, winning is no longer needed in order to make money. MLB is The Producers. Which, in another way, isn't a good thing.
