Recent polls have placed football ahead of baseball in popularity. Does this reflect football''s rise or baseball''s decline? Why has the national pastime--a title perhaps becoming inaccurate--fallen behind other major sports? Is the trend reversible?
This book identifies the most substantial and persistent issues that have impaired Major League Baseball''s development. Chapters cover inflationary player, team and game costs; changes in baseball''s fan base; congestion in urban areas that host big league ballclubs; the negligent and irrational actions (some of it criminal) of players, owners, league officials, and the players'' union; and the maldistribution of power among the major league franchises. Six major reforms needed to boost the popularity of baseball are identified.
