Back when I was a kid growing up in the 50s and even early 60s I loved MLB and all but worshiped the players like Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and most every player that played for the Yankees. And even non Yankee players like Willie Mays and a few others from that time period.
But today I don't even watch MLB or even care about it for that matter. And today's players are even greater, statistic wise, than players from the 50s and early 60s. I've also noticed that guys my age don't care for MLB either like they did when we were kids. I have a cousin a little older than me and he don't care anything about MLB anymore, the WS or anything about the sport.
Kind of a tough and unusual question but I wonder why that is? Again, the players of today are even better than Mantle, Maris, etc. I wonder if it's because back in the day there was very limited coverage of the game and players compared to today and seeing the stars of the game is no big thing compared to the 50s and early 60s?
