I'm 63 and have no problem with the state of the game. I guess I miss affordable concessions, Morannna the Kissing Bandit and streakers.

Of course, it depends on exactly who is doing the streaking.

I started following MLB NHL and NFL in 1971 as an 11 year old.

My interest in sports now is purely nostalgic. I am currently working thru (up to March) the Sporting News coverage of the 1972 season. Lou Piniella commenced workouts at his local YMCA 2 weeks before spring training. He is worried about losing his starting job. Mets manager Gil Hodges is worried about his SS Bud Harrelson's inability to gain weight. No talk of a player strike....

Instead of complaining about the state of MLB in 2024 I feel extremely fortunate to grow up in the era that I did.

Keep reading; there was an MLB player strike from April 1 to April 13, 1972.

(That sounds snarky in isolation - I think what you're doing sounds very cool! The TSN archives are awesome - this reminds I should start looking at them again.)
