All things considered, you'd probably think most baseball aficionados would agree that the 2019 World Series was among the more intriguing in at least a decade -- unless, of course, you are a Cubs fan, in which case you won't believe anything can be that exciting for another century or so.
Unfortunately for the purists, however, aficionados aren't the ones who write the most compelling critiques, which tend not to change much from one year to the next. And so, we heard again that baseball is too slow, the games are too long, they end too late and that TV ratings are down -- again -- for all of those reasons we've heard before.
Oh, by the way, did anybody notice that the Nationals won the World Series for the first time in franchise history, the first for Washington in 95 years and that the home team lost every one of the seven games?
