My humble opinion is that the average American would rather watch a guy that hits the ball hard and takes big swings over watching a manager contemplate the strategy of when to pull his pitcher. More "action" vs more strategy. If I want to watch strategy, I'll tune into poker or chess
To the hardcore fans, this is an unacceptable view, which I don't understand.
Makes perfect sense to me. I come to watch the players, not the managers.

Baseball is a game of tradition. The numbers and statistics tell a story throughout the long history of the game. That consistency makes baseball unique IMO when compared to other pro sports. Thats why performance enhancing substances like steroids and HGH are a MUCH bigger concern in MLB.
I appreciate the fact that baseball hasnt fiddled with its rule book much. I love the NHL and NFL but the amount of tinkering that has been done to the rules in those sports is almost laughable at times.
