I'll miss the contempt inspired by the FTC.

I guess you aren't the only old man.  I believe he meant Nolan Ryan.

Old men need lovin' too.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

True, but depressing!  I still don't know what causes so many non-Chicagoan to embrace the Cubs.  Do they really identify with sucking losers?

The "Old Man" is a proper noun.  The old man is generic plural.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Of course that's what I meant. Coach, I wouldn't drop an F bomb on you out of the blue without a reason, and you've given me none. It's just not my nature.

This feels like a straight line, but I can't quite figure out how the joke ends.
