Dear Mr. Manfred
My name is Matthew Hall. I am a huge Pirates fan and only 11 years old.
I check the Pirates web site every
morning and try to watch all the games that I can. I have seen that you want young people to
enjoy the game of baseball. I have also
seen that you are doing something with shifts and also with the pitch clock. I don’t think that will work much. I think what you can do is move the World
Series games back to 7 p.m. The games
are on around 9 p.m. and that is usually my bed time.
I do go to school and I am in 5th grade so I have a lot of
homework. Starting the games at 7 p.m.
would benefit me because I would have enough time to do my homework. I do understand that parents and adults have
jobs too, but they usually don’t work until 7 p.m. As I have said, I love the Pirates, but if
they make it to the World Series and the game is on at 9 p.m. I won’t get to
watch much of the game. That would make
me very upset.
In conclusion, I think for kids to get into the game of
baseball you would have to move games to an earlier time. I would very much appreciate it if you would
write back telling me your thoughts on this idea. Thanks again and I will be looking forward to
getting your letter!
Matthew Hall
