Re: MLB Off-Topic
I wish I could remember the recent article I read about how and why the NBA is gaining new fans but MLB is struggling to.
It mentioned how the NBA markets the players while MLB markets the teams. But the issue is because baseball is so regional, MLB is essentially marketing to the fans already watching their favorite team.
It was an interesting take. I know there's a strange belief that the NBA and NFL hurt their leagues but revenue and attendance figures say otherwise.
I still believe MLB needs to do better to advertise their players.
Or, just accept that baseball is regional and move on.
