Because 29-year olds who haven't played baseball in 12 years aren't good enough to play MLB, making it a waste of time even before you consider the circle jerk love fest over the guy. It's just garbage "news" and I'd rather hear about pretty much anything else. You're right, it's a societal symptom more than a baseball problem; celebrity culture gone way too far imo. The societal distinction doesn't make it any less annoying though.
