Excellent Question!

I can see what Baseball will be like some 50 to 100 years from now, but in 2025, there will be some changes that you may not immedately notice.

Medical conditions of players will be used as a guage, assigning numbers based on their strengths or weaknesses.

Then, that will grow into a more specific guage, indicating what treatments or additives are given players and when administered.

In this manner, when they do certain things like hit 100 home runs in a year, you will have a guage that tells you why they did so well.

Conceivably, their uses of various medications will be exploited by the pharmaceutical industry...

Advertisements may read...John Drugs uses Alorin every day, you should too.

My ideas are not far fetched.

The use of medications will not just go away in sports.

That's like saying the drug companies will all go out of business.

Um.. baseball has changed in the past 75 years man. In the nineties it was an explosion of home runs in the 70's pitcher's ruled. And now Pitching generally sucks and games are high scoring.

By 2025 I think they'll have gene splicing introduced and legal so now athletes will be as strong as gorillas and they will have to extend all ballparks 200 more feet to accomidate which also means more seats :).

A fair number of players who are active in 2006 will still be active in 2025 -- Roger Clemens, for example, will be in the middle of his 18th "comeback season."

The oldest stadiums in use in 2025 will be Fenway Park Brought to You By Google, ExxonMobil Hydrogen Refining Corporation Stadium (formerly known as Wrigley Field), Tropicana Field (moved brick-by-brick to a former cattle farm northwest of Tampa in 2016, when St. Petersburg became inundated by the rising waters of the Gulf of Mexico), and Busch Stadium in St. Louis. All of those ballparks from the 1990s, of course, were considered horribly outdated and replaced in the late 2010s and early 2020s.

On Fox, Tim McCarver will spend the entire season recounting one extended anecdote involving the 1971 Phillies. Not being able to get a word in edgewise, Joe Buck will have plenty of time to use a computer in the booth to trade Tokyo and Hong Kong stocks during the games, and will become a very wealthy man. The Halloween "Treehouse of Horror XXXVI" episode of "The Simpsons" will not air until November 19th.

Have you ever seen BASEketball? Well...

Narrator: [Reggie Jackson rounds third and heads for home] There was a time in America when contests of athletic prowess were a metaphor for the nobility of man. Historic moments forged by the love of the game celebrated the human potential to achieve excellence. [Reggie touches home plate] But as time passed, and the country neared the millennium, something went awry.
[American football is shown] Manning rolls right. He's got ground at the ten. [Manning begins to dance into the end zone] Then five. Touchdown, Dallas! [Manning throws the ball down and begins to dance]
Narrator: The ideal of sportsmanship began to take a back seat to excessive celebration. [two more players join him, then the rest of the team joins them in a chorus line dancing to "Riverdance"] The athletes caring less about executing the play than planning the vulgar grandstanding that inevitably followed even the most pedestrian of accomplishments. [a player grabs a referee and the referee joins in the dance] The games themselves became subordinate to the quest for money. [Corestates Center in Philadelphia, North-South Airlines Arena in Nashville, Consolidated Transnational Stadium in Charlotte, Preparation H Arena, Maxi Tampon Stadium] Stadiums and arenas became nothing more than giant billboards to promote commercial products. Players sold their services to the highest bidder, much like the hired guns of the Old West.

Football Player: And after playing for New England, San Diego, Houston, St. Louis, a year for the Toronto Argonauts, plus one season as a greeter at the Desert Inn, I'm happy to finally play here in the fine city of Miami! [applause as he holds up his new jersey, TOWNSELL]
Official: [rises and whispers into his ear] Minnesota. [sits down]
Townsell: Whatever. [grins big] Shiiit.

Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. [a US map is shown. Lines are drawn: New York to Oklahoma, Oregon to San Diego to Florida] The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee, where there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City, where they don't allow music. The Oakland Raiders moved to L.A. and then back to Oakland. No one in Los Angeles seemed to notice. The search for greener pastures went on unabated. [more lines are drawn from state to state and then to places overseas] Continued expansion diluted the talent pool, forcing owners to recruit heavily from prisons, mental institutions, and Texas. [fights in baseball, soccer, football, and hockey are shown. In the hockey brawl, one player smacks the head off the opposing player, and the head ends up in front of the goalie, who gags] Fist-fighting and brawling permeated every sport, overshadowing any evidence of competition. As the problems mounted, the fans became less and less interested. [large chunks of bleachers sit empty] To reverse the trend, major sports started interleague play. When that novelty wore off, they tried intersports play. [a pitcher throws the ball, and a football player smacks it away. A fielder almost catches the ball when the football player tackles him. The referee rushes in and calls him safe] But no matter how far the major sports went, it wasn't enough to bring the fans back. The spirit of athletic competition, indeed, was not dead. Its sead merely lay dormant in the dreams of the young. [the young Coop is shown once again beaming with his newly caught ball in his glove as Remer pats him on the back.]

I think that all most of the players will be from other Countries because the American children are all lazy
