SI.com's "Things We Miss in Baseball."

Here's another one: scheduled doubleheaders.

 

Some of the more curious entries:

10. Youppi! -- Really? I'm surprised anything from the Expos makes the list, much less a furry mascot.
11. Fans Running Out Onto The Field (after a team clinches a title) -- Um, not in this day and age, or has someone forgotten the Ligues, Jr. and Sr.
21. Bullpens Not in Foul Territory -- Not in my book. Keep them away from the field.
24. Unbalanced Schedules -- And when we had unbalanced schedules, people were bitching that division rivals didn't play enough.
25. Bullpen Carts -- I never understood the charm of these. Like the pitcher couldn't get from the bullpen to the mound under his own power?

Also

6. Listening to Baseball On The Radio -- "Once upon a time, before Sirius and XM and MLB.com." I kind of get his point about the romanticism of finding a game broadcast from a faraway signal surrounded by static, but the author is aware that Sirius/XM and MLB.com allow you to listen to any game you want, with the local announcers, right?

 

Tiger Stadium porch. So awesome.

 

Roy Halladay too.

 

Monuments in play in center field at the old Yankee Stadium.

 

Day playoff games.

4 man pitching rotations.

 

One I did like was the one on leaving the old Yankee Stadium through the outfield. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on baseball history, but I never knew you could do that back then. You learn something new every day.

I always liked it when a reliever would come out in a car or cart - the Royals always had a great car, Yankees too, and a batboy would have to run out from the dug out to get his satin jacket, the pitcher couldn't just give it to the coach or manager.
Hell, those really shiny Starter Jackets were cool.

 

That was you?
On a serious note, I miss having COLD beer at the game.
