The Baseball Mafia is going to tell you how much the Brits love baseball this weekend.
When I went to the first London Series, sure there were people at the stadium, the same is true of international soccer games in NJ you never hear a thing about, but I’m telling you I WAS THERE and It had no visibility around the city.
This morning I got an email trying to sell me tickets to this year’s London Series – so that will give you a sense of how well things are going.
Have they sold lots of tickets in a fairly big building? Sure.
Is it sold out? NOPE
Blue sections still have seats available
And an example of a section. Not horrifically empty, but also not full.
Baseball also scheduled Yankees-Dodgers for this weekend which is sure to overshadow these games. I guess they were going tor some sort of Big Event Saturday with London and NYY-LAD back to back? I sort of get it, but also it’s a summer Saturday guys – nobody is staying inside to watch 8 hours of baseball.
