Bloops: What Baseball is Like to Today’s 18-Year-Olds

Posted by Neil Paine on September 3, 2009

Want to feel old? Try reading the annual Beloit College Mindset List for incoming freshmen. Heck, I'm 23 and this year's version makes me feel old... Another question: Want to feel like an old baseball fan? Read Chris Jaffe's baseball version of the Beloit List over at the Hardball Times. It's what baseball feels like to the young whippersnappers out there (and my apologies if you are one of the aforementioned whippersnappers).

    In two years, incoming college freshmen will never know what it's like to see the Pittsburgh Pirates have a winning record for a season.
