I remember when the guys who played ball had to be a part of the community in the off season.  In my opinion, it *was* better.  You would probably note that it wasn't the billion dollar industry it is now. I would agree. But does money mean civility should be discarded?I remember when cursing was something done by sailors and soldiers, not the soccer mom. I remember when courteously opening doors for women, or giving them your seat on the bus or standing up when women or older folks entered was appropriate. The players were a part of the community and when they were out, folks just understood they should be treated like anyone else. You might call it over romanticizing the past. We called it decency. Something that is fast disappearing from our society.</blockquote>
