Baseball Continues to Lose Its Grip on America

Major League Baseball breaks its own attendance record in 2007.

As did the 175 minor league teams that feed the majors their players.

By the time the regular season ends this Sunday the combined fan attendance for the majors and minors should reach 120 million. I was just one of those this year when I went to an O's game in the spring. It's the lowest total for me in any year since I was a teenager.

That Philly-Atlanta series in Filthadelphia starting tonight is pretty damned tempting, though.
