Every month or two somebody starts a post wondering about the future of the hobby. These posts usually start with some assumed premise that we are all meant to accept. My problem is that most of these are untrue.
The 2014 MLB season had the 7th highest attendance of all time. The last 10 years have been among the best attended seasons in history. So by this measure baseball is not losing fans. Then we get the "card collectors are all old guys" premise for the hobby dying. Yet every poll on Net54 shows that pre-war collectors average only about 40 years of age. Based on the actual facts, there is nothing wrong with the health of baseball or the hobby. Cheers, Blair
