Amid ongoing talk of a downtown stadium and hope for younger players to renew the team in the midst of another horrible season . . . Myopic Kansas City baseball fans are overlooking an important part of the game.
MLB ATTENDANCE CONTINUES TO DECLINE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
A quick peek at the problem . . .
"MLB attendance entering the All-Star break is down for 23 of 30 teams compared to the same time frame in 2019, representing a league-wide decrease of 6.4%. Why it matters: The reasons for the decline are varied, but assuming the pace holds this will be the fifth consecutive non-pandemic-restricted season with declining attendance."
Reality check . . .
Video games are cheaper, the graphics are better, they don't require leaving the sofa and the play is much more exciting, interactive & fun.
And so . . .
American's pastime doesn't seem to have much of a future given that younger people are quickly losing interest.
Sure . . . Traditional "rebuilding" talk offers some hopeful chatter for baseball purists.
And watching the team get blown out isn't such a bad time when the beer is cheep.
But the passive nature of spectator sports seems to be a thing of the past.
And so instead of more baseball songs . . . We dedicate tonight's playlist to the end of a party.
We start tonight's list with a quick tune dedicated to the decline of this part of the American dream . . .
From the 90s . . . A neo-hippie classic dedicated to moving on . . .
A slightly new summer song on the topic of memorable endings . . .
A favorite local last call tune . . .
Finally . . . An anthem for a bygone era . . .
As always, thank for reading this week and have a safe & fun Saturday night.
