    Future controversies

    You're wrong that we can't imagine future controversies. Heck, there's an entire genre based on imagining the future. Just off the top of my head, I can imagine:

    Artificial eyes

    Cat gene treatments

    Mormon team owners

    Robot umpires

    Elbow replacement surgery

    Cyborgs

    Telepathic signals broadcast into the heads of visiting players

    Sure, none of these might happen, and the only controversy will involve teams that go to 3 infielders & naked ballgirls dancing between innings, but that's been imagined too.

    Mostly, though, I imagine that baseball will continue to decline as fewer & fewer boys have the time, space, or inclination to play the game.
