Going Going Gone

Going, going, gone. That was how many MLB broadcasters would describe home runs, which were my favorite aspect of my favorite sport, baseball. That is where the title of this book originated. Sadly, MLB has been changing over the past several years. My favorite sport has become maddening, difficult to watch, and the adoration I had for MLB players and teams has evaporated. This book describes my opinions on what has happened to MLB, which I believe is destroying its future. The book starts with my childhood experiences and favorite MLB heroes, which I believe many fans of my generation, in particular, can understand and relate to. I am hoping it sparks similar fond memories for my readers.
The book moves on to the top reasons why MLB has been diminished, and now it has a very uncertain long-term future.
These are all my opinions, and my hope is that it increases the reader's understanding of what is happening to the sport I once loved so much.
