It’s Opening Day—a reminder of everything baseball has been, and everything it’s still trying to become.

Curt Smith—URochester lecturer and renowned baseball storyteller—has been championing ways to keep the national pastime relevant, and many of his ideas have taken hold:

⚡ Faster pace of play: New rules have trimmed game times

📺 More accessible viewing: Streaming and broadcast options are helping reach new audiences.

🎙️ Storytelling matters: Best broadcasters aren’t just analysts

⏰ Smarter scheduling: Growing pressure to make big games watchable for younger fans

🧢 Focus on fan experience: From camera angles to in-game flow
