The MLB heads of state are not satisfied with the pace of play in baseball. There’s some ideas being floated around to quicken the pace of the game: pitch clocks, less pitching changes, automatic intentional walks, runner starting at 2nd base in extra innings. But I ask the question: Is that really the problem?
Atlanta Braves fans should lead the way with more entertainment in baseball. And we are here to provide suggested ways to do so.
In this day and age when kids are exposed to more violence than any other era of our country, when information of all sorts are at their fingertips on their beckon call, and when kids begged to be entertained non-stop, quickening the pace only decreases the time of boredom: it does not rid us of the boredom.
We need some solutions and that’s what I hope to provide. The following piece is a labor of love of real solutions to the boredom that kids, teens, tweens, or any non-fan might experience while at a baseball game. I hope you read it with an open mind and heart.
