Will you be my Grandpa?

My Grandpa has recently passed away, and I'm going to miss his adamant comments about how MLB has changed for the worse. I ask that anybody over the age of 60 offers their sentiments or explanations as to the drastic change we've witnessed in terms of talent, work ethic, compensation, etc. regarding the pitchers of yore and those that compete today. What happened to the warriors or the no-nonsense attitude that the likes of Fergie Jenkins, Warren Spahn, or Nolan Ryan displayed? Why are pitchers like Mark Prior (the bane of the Chicago Cubs organization) and Kerry Wood so fragile? What's up with pitch count limitations?

I am not 60 or over but wanted to say that I am sorry for your loss. It's difficult to deal with the loss of a loved one and I hope you will cope okay.

Sorry, I don't keep up on baseball. About the only thing I know about baseball is that Detroit is in the world series for the first time in a looong time.
