Reply #5: Other: Fans should revolt.

Watch Minor League games. I find them much more entertaining, and a hell of a lot more affordable. Local stadiums are packed with families, who can afford to bring EVERYONE, the kids often have a good chance to meet and talk with the players, every seat in the stadium is great and close enough to the action to worry about line drives and flung bats.

Major League, on the other hand, is far, FAR more expensive, 80% of the seats make you wish you brought binoculars, the kids have to fight throngs to get a 5 second autograph from one of the few players who isn't too much of a primo-donna to acknowledge the fans, and the outcome of the plays is pretty much set in stone the moment the ball leaves the bat.

Honestly, I think Major League ball only survives by how mesmerized fans are by "the Big Show." Big Deal. Minor League Baseball will remind you why this is Americas national sport.
