[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baseball if you can stay awake? Tell that to the millions glued to Game 6 of the Series this year - baseball and other sports can transform a town. Can heal the rift of a punk terrorist attack. LAX? Does anyone even broadcast it? I bet there are more bowling or poker shows on TV at any given time. [/quote]

Actually baseball TV ratings --- even for the world series --- are way, way down. The 17 million that watched the world series games were eclipsed by an awful Monday Night NFL game during the same week. In 1978 the TV audience for world series games was 80 million each. Hispanics are increasingly dominating the sport.

You aren't in St Louis or someplace where there is still a lot of baseball interest. In Baltimore and Washington, DC baseball continues to fade. That is, if fan interest is any barometer at all.

Go to UVA when there is a lacrosse game and a baseball game being played simultaneously. You'll see thousands watching one of these events and dozens watching the other. Guess which one has the big crowd.[/quote]
