Chicago Cubs "Split" Doubleheader: 10 Ways MLB Has Changed Over the Years

I promise you that this article isn't going to be one of those that simply reminisces about glory days and laments the passing of the 'good old days' when a postage stamp was 10 cents and outfielders shared baseball mitts.

Look, a lot of positive changes have occurred that have helped to improve the enjoyment of the game of baseball. But I must admit that some of the changes do have me occasionally longing for things I miss about the game.

The Cubs getting rained out on Tuesday, and playing a split doubleheader on Wednesday (weather permitting), got me thinking about this. You'll see why in a minute.

Meanwhile, let's go through this list and I will be interested to see your reaction. Do you agree that some of the changes are for the better? Likewise, do you wish that some changes had never been made?

Whether you're just starting to watch baseball or you are a grizzled veteran like me, I hope you enjoy the ride. Even if the ride isn't a '63 Corvette.
