Love of baseball is something inherited. If you're disillusioned and not following baseball, most likely, your kid won't follow it either.
I'll make this bet: In 5-10 year, Major League Soccer is going to zoom past baseball in popularity. If it happens, then good. Baseball deserves it.
And, let me add this: There is no new rule that they could implement - for better or worse - that will attract more/new fans. It most likely tick off existing ones, whether it;s a good rule or not. And really, they changes they REALLY need to make - which go FAR beyond adding a pitch clock - the owners would never go along with. The real radical necessary changes would benefit baseball, would NOT benefit the bottom line. And the owners are far more interested in their bottom line (read: I'll only make millions of dollars instead of millions and MILLIONS of dollars!) than doing what's right for baseball.

I think baseball in the US should have more enthusiasm like in other countries such as Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. That's why I love watching the World Baseball classic
