So many awesome answers! Speaking of the Milwaukee Brewers, I miss seeing them in the American League.

Ernie Harwell and tigers games on the great voice of the Great Lakes-WJR 760.  Tiger stadium, and real stadium names.  

I miss the sound of WGN broadcasting the day games with Jack Brickhouse yelling "hey, hey". It was like stereo throughout the neighborhood. Every house had the game on and their windows open.

As kids we would go house to house. Watching the game for a few minutes and looking for a snack.

When the game was over we'd mimick what we saw. The way the pitchers threw, the batter's stance. We'd play in different "stadiums". Mine had a very short right field fence and a left that went forever. My friend had flowers down each line that were an automatic out, especially if his mom was home. The good old days... I can almost smell them.

Pitchers like Spahn, Roberts, Jenkins, Palmer who would pile up 20 win and 20 complete game seasons.

All Cubs home games in day time.

What I miss most about baseball is stirrups worn with pants that are not overly baggy with the bottoms pulled up to midway between the knee and ankle.

No interleague games.

No Designated Hitter.

I agree with stirrups yes miss them. Nowadays there are very few players that show high socks, and most players only do that when the throwback uniforms have the shorter pants. I hate the baggy pants leg cuff covering the shoes/cleats.

I also agree with whoever mentioned the old bullpen carts shaped like a baseball with the team hat. There was a resurfacing of that a couple of seasons ago, but I think it quickly died again almost as soon as it came back.

Players not looking like athletes. Looking like a plumber or a star shortstop. 

BASEBALL as a SPORT...

Now like all forms, it is just entertainment for the T.V. Audience...

Every rule change over the last few decades have been for the benefit of

the networks and not the players or fans....

I miss Players loyalty to a team, and not just being about money
