I don’t see a problem with baseball attendance. Why would you say that? Who doesn’t like four hour games? Don’t you like baseball? Why wouldn’t you want the game to be longer? I sure do.
Why wouldn’t post-season games start late where the majority of the population lives? Don’t you want people in California to see the games? I do. How would someone in California follow a game that started at 4pm? Am I supposed to worry about some nine year old kid who lives in Maine? Answer me that.
Is it me? It’s him, right? Baseball is fine. I surely think so.
Perhaps more alarmingly, 15 teams saw a decrease in their worst March-April gate, which can serve as a relatively informed snapshot of a club’s season-ticket base. Twelve teams’ worst gate was 11,000 or less, with four teams – Pittsburgh (8,523), Cincinnati (7,799), Baltimore (6,585) and Miami (5,934) sporting a base of less than 10,000.
