Big teams/big brands making it every year such as the Yankees, Dodgers etc. would no doubt help increase TV ratings. |

I could not tell you the last time I watched a full baseball game on tv.
I watched the first Wolves playoff game and was thoroughly BORED. I dont know if it was that I am uninterested, or the announcers sucked. But I wont make that mistake again.

The strike season of 1994 was pretty much the end of my baseball life. That was the last year I played little league. Up to that point if I wasn't watching the Royals on tv, I was listening on the radio. Every single game. I was really enjoying the Royals that season too.
When the strike happened, I moved on to basketball and football and never really looked back. I am still a Royals fan but I've never been invested in the regular season like I was when I was a kid. |

I think it was before the 94 Major League baseball strike. A long time before that. Probably in the '70s when the Steelers were kicking ass.

Something not mentioned yet was the explosion of sports bars in the 90's.
Growing up I never saw Chiefs games on TV except an occasional 4pm Game of the Week against the Broncos or Raiders. Once fantasy football and sports bars exploded, so did football. It's on a whole other level.

I don't think it is anything like it was, but in the NBA, the biggest stars from the big market teams got more calls than the biggest stars from the small market teams. The Sacramento Kings got robbed blind against the Lakers during a Kobe conference championship. And that was the last time I took the NBA seriously. Have no idea why anyone would support a

Watching baseball is like watching flies f***. It's constant minutius inactivity. It's not exciting on a consistent basis. They play 100,000 games a year and none of them matter on their own. Major League baseball should pay the fans to watch it.

If you don't enjoy Ant Edwards, you probably don't understand basketball.

Interesting chart from Gallup. Appears to indicate in the mid 60's football overtook baseball. Basketball remained pretty constant with only a slight uptick in the 90's and early 2000's. Baseball and basketball neck and neck.
