Yeah for TV commercials. That is not the base demographic that shows up for baseball games on a weekday afternoon.

I'm 25-years-old and I have plenty of friends in the same 23-28 age range that go to multiple day games a year, including me (6-7).

You're reaching, plenty of business use afternoon baseball as a business expense and bring clients, plenty of kids skip, plenty of people in larger cities work night jobs and can attend. attendance for these games may be lower than a weekend game but it isn't 15-20 lower because only old white men attend.
