We host a few minor league teams, one of which Hollywood decided to make a tiny bit famous.
alert.

Our college freshmen & sophomores weren't even BORN when that movie came out in 1988.

BuryYourDuke wrote:When more 18-34 males tune in to a reality show on cable than the world series with two major market teams...no, I don't think baseball is extremely popular anymore.Where are you getting your information? This year's World Series had its highest rating since 2004. I'm not saying you're incorrect, I'm just pointing out the fact that it's still very popular.

BuryYourDuke wrote:no, I don't think baseball is extremely popular anymore.Correct.
adam42381 wrote:Is the NBA no longer popular either?Correct, again.

I think in the future, as our nation becomes more of a wuss, I believe soccer will gain in popularity.

Big difference.
You are right though, this was the most watched World Series in a while...not b/c baseball is more popular, but b/c the teams in it were. The Yankees are the biggest name brand in sports. I will say though, that baseball is still very popular. It's just not with my democraphic. It falls well below NFL, College football, college basketball, and NBA in male 18-34. It sits at best on level playing field with NHL and UFC in that demo.
