Back in my day we moved the runner over, sacrificed, hit to the right side, squeezed, shortened our swing, hit the ball up the middle and learned to inside out a pitch the other way. And we liked it!

I can only give this and the previous post a solid 6 out of 10 on my old man shaking his fist at baseball clouds meter.
You haven't said anything at all about money ruining the game, wearing too much jewelry, batting gloves, long hair, beards or sabermetrics.
You can do better.

I could say more but it would have to be in a PM
I was expecting a David Allen Coe-esque new verse to the rant.
"Baseball’s gone to hell with money ruining the game, everybody dripping in jewelry, needing batting gloves with long hair and beards. It looks like a Molly Hatchet concert out there but instead of rednecks it's nerds with sabermetrics telling me why a strikeout is the same as a groundout.”
Not sure if you can put it to music

I will say though you're right on point. I can't even look at the modern ball player with those shaggy heads and beards, tattoos and of course the jewelry. I grew up in the days where the players at least looked respectable and were respectable when they gave interviews, never mind what real pieces of shits they were outside the game My theory is that too many of these got sucked into baseball culture at a young age and never experienced much outside of it. It leads to Peter Pan syndrome. I started seeing it in the 90's, 30 year old men who's maturity level was the same as when they were 14. Back in like 2010-2013 I used to dine out a lot and my two favorite spots were right next to spring training facilities here in AZ. I met a few but I mostly observed them. I have loved baseball since I was big enough to pick up a wiffle bat, was a seasoned veteran by the time I hit t-ball age. It was my passion.I had become a bit disillusioned during the steroid era this experience jaded my for life and made me not want to watch another pro game.

And the way they handled their introduction to 3 true outcomes and Adam Dunn.
Marty was never the same.
