Re: Starting 5 (11-14-05)

why baseball is not as popular anymore:

Its not a tv sport!!!

Has anyone been to a football game? The ball is sooo small, the players look like ants, the temp is soooo cold. But what about football on tv. Instant replys of hits, close ups of touchdown celebrations. Great statistics.

Now baseball: The warm breeze, the sound of the bat, the wave Good food, hanging out with your friends. Wandering around the ballpark.
Baseball on tv? Kinda boring. Its long, alot of waiting around.

So just that fact that this is a tv loving nation, plus the fact that only the richest of the richest can actually go see a baseball game is driving the game to the ground.
