Columnist Paul Kengor’s lamentations on the advent of a less leisurely pace of play in Major League Baseball are severely undermined by citing our local team (“Ruining America’s national pastime,” May 8, TribLive). Even as a former professional radio sports announcer, I find watching the “dreaded Pittsburgh Pirates” a quite effective way to make me want a baseball game to end as soon as possible.
