While I'm quite unlikely to join their ranks, I think I understand the enthusiasts and why archaic sports (and arts) appeal to them. And I appreciate that they keep those old ways of doing things from slipping away entirely. For all that is gained, something is lost, and sometimes what's lost is worth preserving, if only to remind us that "progress" is rarely if ever entirely to the good.
Me, I prefer the sound of wood on baseball over aluminum on baseball. And I don't think that the higher bat speeds and such that one can get with an aluminum bat makes baseball with aluminum bats a better game. Call me old-fashioned.
