Why has Baseball forgotten its fan base?

Question

It seems that Baseball of today has gone away from Daytime Baseball, except for the Cubs. Night Baseball is hurting the sport with the younger generation. The All-Star game went for almost 5 hours, 4 hours and 50 minutes. I feel that we as fans have to write the Commissioner and express our dislike of how Baseball is today. The sport is in danger of losing the next generation to Football, Basketball and Futbol. Bring back Day time Baseball, start games at 1:00 p.m. local time, 1:20 p.m. for the Cubs. Bring back the Doubleheader (I mean a game that will be played following a 30 minute break between the first and second game) not a day-night double admission thing. Playoff games should start in the day time, end the season in the third week of September, and bring back the 154 game season.

Answer 1

This year's All-Star Game went 15 innings; a game like that cannot be expected to finish in a crisp three hours.

Not saying anything else you claim is wrong (or right), but the 2008 ASG is a poor example to cite in support of your concerns.

Answer 2

baseball has forgotten its fanbase in a different way. they have sold the game to corporate america instead of making it all about the fans. baseball allowed the steroids era to flourish, then blamed the players that were using them ( how ironic), they have made the game all about the home run. i mean alot of home runs. the commisioner needs to resign and hire a guy thats not connected to the game, and tell corporate america we will not sell our game to u.
