What is right and wrong with baseball

Maybe I'm late to the party and everyone has already seen this, but if not this website has some interesting takes on the state of the game.

I've added a couple of my own, feel free to add yours.

right-  Still the cheapest ticket in pro sports

wrong- Ticket prices at Fenway

right- The international influx of talent, the WBC

wrong-  Not enough kids, especially urban kids, playing the game.  I honestly think the best hope might be East Indian and Pakistani immigrants converting from cricket, but everyone from the Indian sub-continent I've talked to said that this is a longshot.

right-  Anna Benson

wrong-  Jessica Biel

right- Seven different World Series winners in seven years, parity without the pathetic mediocrity of the "Any Given Sunday" NFL

wrong-  A awful play in this year's postseason.  The Twins looked like frightened seventh-graders.  The World Series was decided by the Tigers' inability to throw the ball to make force outs.  As my wife said, it was "gross."  

right-  The American League

wrong-  The National League
