A few points, All playoff baseball games take longer, pitchers are more deliberate and batters step out of the box more often trying to gather them selfs, it's the nature of the beast. Yes, tropicana field is a joke, having catwalks above that come into play is ridiculous. Baseball should be outdoors played on grass, not a friggin carpet. Fenway is old but hardly "rotting", it's very well maintained. Even though Yankee stadium was a house of horrors for the Bosox I was sad to see it go, these old parks (fen. Wrigley, YS) IMO are national treasures to passed to one generation to the next, not torn down for something "new" and "shiny". It would have been nice for a NY fan 150 years from now to go to a game and explain to a son or daughter who Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig ect, were and what they meant to the game.
