Baseball Remains Broken, Again

If you want to fix baseball you have to change the incentives. Teams should make the most profit when the stadium is full.

Having lots of fans in LA and New York leads to a 2 team league. That's not going to help baseball.

 

If you want to fix baseball start with removing money as a primary factor in who wins and loses. Ensure talent distribution over time. Give fans of every MLB team reason to believe they can win if the team is smart enough. Every team's fans should believe the system would allow for an Ohtani on their team.

Start by breaking the MLBPA, so these things can occur. 

Like the NFL.

Yeah, MLB is flourishing and the NFL can't get anyone to watch.

 

I literally said it was more popular in the past .... So wut?

Almost all stadiums (all the ones I have gone to last summer, which was St. Louis, Dodger, KC, and Arizona) allow you to bring in food and a sealed drink if you like. I bring way more interesting eats than the overpriced concessions that mostly suck IMO. And if you need $20 beer, and can't do without for a few hours at the ballpark, you are the fool. I love beer, but I am no fool. And the seats, in the first upper level, even at Dodger stadium, and on the rail, I have never had to pay more than $30 on the resale sites for a ticket. Parking sucks when they charge you $20 to park at their parking lot, but that can be circumvented, too, with a little healthy walk, it you like.

So I don't know why folks think they can't have a great time for a pretty small cost if they want to see a game live.
