Default Baseball is dying....

I live 270 miles from the closest major league park, Dodger Stadium. If MLB moves to Las Vegas I will be around 260 miles.

The last professional game I watched in person? The Reno Aces in 2016, about 185 miles from home.

I watch an average of three games a day., and with the “cable” ageeements of the Dodgers and Angels, I watch 40 times as many Yankee and Pirate games as I do the “local” Socal teams.

At my age and with mobility issues, money is just not a primary reason to attend. I have never enjoyed the mess of getting to a game in Southern California.
To be honest I’d rather watch my boys play in their high-end beer leagues than burn time getting to and from a congested overpriced hostile bad beer sometimes dangerous park.

Our local high school took out the baseball diamond to put in a dog park. And that’s because attendance at the school is half what it was ten years ago. But there are still little league teams playing everywhere.

Seems the OP may be getting caught up in pride of ownership of an opinion based on whatever seems an appropriate basis to confirm a bias.

Just watched the Yankees end their regular season. And Trout hit number 40. Cool as hell. I am ready for the playoffs and hockey season.

Just sayin’.

Peace out, and Go Kings Go (lol).
