Baseball is definitely gaining in popularity now. Revenues are way up. National ratings are down, but local ratings are going up. Individual teams are signing multi-billion dollar television deals.

It's almost universally rated as the second most popular sport in polls, behind the NFL and ahead of college football.

I think MLB should do something to fix the problems it has with television. That is the biggest issue for me. I know many others that just can't watch it. I have no clue how they can fix that though.


The end of the season, when teams are fighting for playoff spots, I can watch. There are just so many games, and a lot of them feel so meaningless early on. I will also admit that another huge reason I am not a baseball fan is likely because I have no team to cheer for. If Louisiana had a pro team I would watch because I am a big homer. I used to go to Astros games as a kid pretty often, but I've never been a big fan. The sport being hard for me to watch on TV, along with not having a team, are the main reasons I do not care for it at all.
