Baseball haters are almost as bad as soccer haters with having to tell everyone how much they dislike the sport.

Yeah I don't get it either. I'm sure there's plenty that don't care about the NBA like me and I know there's a majority that doesn't care for NASCAR, but you don't see them starting threads every February.

Oddly, both groups benefit by the influx of Latinos who have cultural ties to both sports, and that represent a growing part of the population.

Baseball is going to keep chugging along; it's unlikely to regain top-dog status ever again, but it has a robust niche in American culture, language, and sports.
