This poll question is concerning "America's Pastime..." baseball.
I saw on the news the other day that Major League Baseball just got a television contract for nearly 1.5 BILLION dollars per year. That's an awful lot of dough.
I got to thinking, I don't really care for baseball. I've never been a big fan. Can't remember the last time I saw a world series. And, as a matter of fact, I don't know many people in my age bracket who are very big fans of the sport either.
It WAS a pretty big deal when I lived up in Chicago. That leads me to pose two hypotheses:
1.) Baseball fans are generally older
2.) Baseball fans generally reside in New York, Boston, Chicago, or Philly.
So I want to know, are you a fan of the sport? Are my generalizations correct? If so, what does that say about the future of america's "pastime" and, in turn, what does that say about the changing nature of our culture?
