No. I am saying there no major technological advances in the games themselves, baseball specifically. Calls may be more accurate, but they were always supposed to be accurate.
Ideally, fields were perfectly maintained. It just was not possible before fake turf.
STRAW MAN ARGUMENT
Hockey equipment is 1000X different from what it was 50 years ago. Goalies didn't even wear masks. Players didn't wear helmets. Then... from 1970 till now.. the equipment is way way different. Due to technological innovations Hockey is totally different and way faster. .... the skates are way better.
Golf equipment is 1000X different from 50 years ago. Hell, classic courses like Augusta have basically been distorted beyong recognizability.
NFL Football, equipment 1000X different and way more advanced allowing for harder collisions than ever before making brain injuries epidemic. Steroids have made the players completely different. 280 pound guys without an ounce of body fat running a 40 year dash in 4.4 seconds.. .etc.
you flat out have no clue dude.
Baseball is totally different because the players themselves are completely different. They are all on steroids making tendon and ligament injuries at epidemic proportions. 5 man rotations rather than 4 man rotations.. starters that never finish games and 34857897 specialist relief pitchers designed to only get out 1 guy in the line up...
aka Mark Zipchinski being sent in to get out Prince Fielder in every late game situation.
in Baseball they are using Maple bats rather than Ash bats. Due to new manufacturing processes it is now possible to create Maple bats which couldn't exist in 1970. Barry Bonds broke the home run record with a Maple bat.
the extremely high speed collisions now happening in hockey are causing parents to steer their children away from hockey due to the epidemic of head injuries.... that stuff didn't happen 30+ years ago.

what r u talking about? there is no "perfect field".
they are steering away from "fake turf"
fields are never 'ideal'.
if a team has a couple of players taht are very good at laying down bunts then the groundskeeper lets the grass grow taller to give their home guys an advantage..
what height of grass is "perfect" for the infield?
LOL
