Baseball has been struggling more and more over the last few decades. The Strike. the Steroid frenzy, The Yankees tyring to buy championships. The Red Sox finally winning a championship. Franchises on the verge of bankruptcy with spending out of control
After reading the yahoo article on how the Boston redsocks are willing to pay 51 million for the right talk to a player from Japan, it makes me utterly sick.
I can't help but wondering if we are seeing the end of Baseball as a professional sport in the same league as the NFL, NBA and NHL (although this is only a quasi league anyway.
I think the only thing left is to break everything up and restructure, but then what are you left with. I grew up playing teeball. Watch baseball. My kids grew up playing soccer. They watch the NBA and NFL. If they had a choice between going to a ball game and chuckee Cheese, I think I would end up shelling out money for those tokens.
