And how much longer do you give it?


Long season, long games, little action, lopsided payrolls, daytime games throughout the week when people are at work (not that anyone watches all the regular season games either....too boring)

With the ADD/ADHD generations getting older, will baseball's popularity die off within 20-40 years? Is it kinda like soccer where all kids play when they're little, but stop playing & watching when they get older? Anyone here watch more than 50 full games in real time throughout the season?

Nice troll.

MLB is way more popular up north. Everyone in the south has a skewed view of it.

It will stay popular way longer than basketball. Ask any of your buddies/neighbors with kids if their boys play in a youth basketball league. Then ask them if they play youth baseball.

They do need to shorten the season by about 40 games, but they won't.

You're going to get pummelled, but I felt like somebody needed to step up and tell baseball guy to settle down on the threads today since there are a few more games left to play.

I don't remember the last time I watched a baseball game. 1997 maybe?

Glad to see you've taken your baseball flaming from the SECr to the MSB. You should do everyone a favor and just stop posting.

I watch at least 130-140 full braves games and I usually watch at least 30 minutes of all braves games, plus a ton of other games.

I watch 140+ games a year and when I'm not watching them I'm usually listening to them on the radio or keeping up with it on gameday.
