Your first post is one of the best posts I have ever read on this board. Thank you.
On a few notes, I collect and absolutely love playing softball and baseball, and have for literally 45 yrs and running. I play in a very competitive senior softball league currently. However, my start was opening '67-'72 Topps as a kid. as I am now 52. My dad could have cared less. As for current MLB baseball, I can't stand it for all of the reasons you so eloquently stated.
BTW, the thread on the main board has some great posts too....
