combination of things imo

steroid scandal

best athletes arent choosing baseball

no salary cap leads casual fans to think everyone just buys championships

games seem to be getting longer and baseball can be brutal on tv but is goat in person

That's cuz niggas smartened up and peeped what's happening to Bonds and Clemens. A-Rod, Pettite and the rest of dem niggas did more comfessing than a whore in church on Sunday in as far as using PEDs. They seen how Tejeda, Sosa, Maguire and the rest got spanked in the court of Public Opinion and otherwise.

I think Internet is also a main reason why Baseball fell off.

I mean a youtube video about some fat cracka dancing to Beyonce's Single Ladies prolly gets more views than a Blue Jays vs Mariners game.

People simply arent watching TV as much as they used to, and kids DAMN sure aint got the attention span they used to. Ppl cant be bothered to sit around watching a slow paced game for 3 hours when the world is at their finger tips WWW

Because baseball does one of the worst jobs at promoting the sport, Look how many Commercials for Football and basketball u see for individuals and for the sport alone...u hardly see any baseball shit, And the sport is only 8-10 % Black , a lot of these black kids cant even relate to a lot of these players ....

Football does the best job at promoting their sport , Hell college gameday is just as exciting to watch almost as the game it gets you hyped, and NFL does a hell of a job at pitching games , and also If you can play then you can play just look at the draft and a lot of these rosters , they take anyone from any school as long as you can ball out and get the job done...

there's so much Bullshit in Baseball til it's a joke , so much garbage behind the scenes... im not a Race guy i dont care nothin bout if someone black or white or whatever it dont matter to me, But they making it to where as they dont even want u playing their sport

Only Black Players they taking are the one's that's just beyond Elite that have undeniable talent, look around the league and see how many "average to below average" black players there are or how many "Role" players there are that are black....they're hardly any....

they not even trying to give Black players a chance , it's a joke to me and i lost respect for the sport and how' it's conducted....i wish all sports were like Football, if you can play then you can play , no matter if you From South Carolina State a HBCU school or if you from the University of Miami, they find a way to get you on a roster, shouldnt be about color or what school u came from....

And the Same Fuckin Teams Suck every year and Same Teams are good every year due to salary cap like Shitman said and it's getting old...

And Also in Football and Basketball you have a general idea who damn near all the players are before they are even drafted, the same cant be said about Baseball, because college baseball isn't that popular , shit dont start doing numbers until the College world series on TV , and they drafting kids out of HS so unless u a true fanatic and keep up with that shit then u wont even know who they are...

shit everybody knows who the Football and basketball players are by time draft rolls around because College Football and College Basketball is so damn popular...

This is gonna sound horrible, but they need to bring steroids. No disrespect to Ubaldo Jimenez and David Price and today's other amazing pitchers but watching players smash home runs in 10-7 games > watching a 1-0 pitchers duel. Back in the late 90's when you had players hitting 50 home runs like it was nothing, baseball was epic.

Baseball is still a great sport...The whole steroid shit destroyed the credibility of baseball, but it still fun to watch...BTW, my Phillies are going back to the world series and I'm hoping the Yankees make it because we owe them one.

this is a great era of Baseball and i for one have enjoyed this season immensely.

if anything fell off it's NBA basketball, that shit used to be GOAT but NBA now compared to the 90's is garbage.
