Here’s a must watch clip from KO (blue cap tip to Andy Martino for pointing it out). Stay with it past the initial 20 year old clip of young KO, and watch his 2014 commentary.
Phil Mushnick has been flying the baseball-is-dying flag for thirty years, but sure enough the generation they ignored grew up and now that generation is having kids.
I live in a “soccer house” now. My kids play sports all day long every day. I couldn’t pay any of them to sit and watch a game (in any sport) except the World Cup. What caught my eye in the KO piece is how popular Messi is vs. Trout.
Anyway, watch, enjoy, and keep playing games in the rain.
