“Sometimes one is enough” By Frank Deford

“Sometimes one is enough” By Frank Deford is a radio speech about how professional sports drag on championships way to long.  He talks mainly about the World Series and how it is absurd to have a seven game series.  That in the olden days before radio and T.V. it was understandable because all profits came from tickets to the games.  However now it just makes the series boring.

I agree with Deford.  Seven game series take the excitement out of watching the game.  If the World Series was a three game series like Deford suggests I would be on the edge of my seat watching.  However, people are relentless to change Americas past time because that’s how it has always been.  When some things like sports are in too much of an excess they lose their appeal to me.  I can understand how some people may like the extended play, but to me it just takes the excitement out.  Although this may seem like a childish argument people care because they either like change or they don’t.  When dealing with a spot like baseball many people associate it with America, and it being “Americas past time”.  Most people don’t want to change that.
