Baseball is dying, and young people today don't care, doesn't look good for baseball in 20 years.
Few things: one, the All Star game had an attendance of 45,408 for a stadium that seats 45,281. Pretty sure that counts as a sellout. Two, you claim the NBA is going to pass the MLB in terms of popularity soon and that people only watch the World Series if the Yankees or Red Sox are in it, yet why did the NBA get good ratings for their playoffs? Maybe because the Lakers and the Celtics were in the finals? Hmm, maybe. Let's get the Spurs and the Pistons playing each other and see how that does. Also don't worry about the NBA gaining too much momentum, because that lockout that's happening soon will kill it off quick. Just ask the NHL. Three, how many young people have you talked to about baseball?
