And of course baseball has been a dying game forever.

The NY Mets were valued at less than 400M in 1995. Today they are valued at over $2.5B.

The Boston Red Sox franchise was valued at about 325M in 1995. Today worth over 3 billion.

The Yankees were valued at at less than 600M in 1995. Estimated about 4.6B today.
