Baseball : Baseball went through some of its most radical changes during the 1970's. The trend of multi-purpose stadiums made artificial fields more of a necessity than a novelty and by the decade’s end, nearly half of the teams were playing on it. Hundred-foot hops, infield seam hits and carpet burns from sliding fielders became the norm for players who rather would have done without the fake grass & a video of a baseball game during the 1970's *video Below* .
