There a few things to be said about that young demographic now, though... I know that at least on the west coast, the only big baseball fans seem to be the pocket hardcores, and those in Latino communities. Despite this, the premier events and such seem to be broadcasted at an unreasonably late hour for the east coast and central US, where the baseball following seems to be far larger than it is out west.
There's also a few things like the DirecTV deal, etc. |
MLB is trying hard to get the African American demographic back into play. I've seen alot of articles about that, added with the Jackie Robinson celebrations, and Civil Rights games.
