Well, I don't follow baseball, but I know for a fact that TV ratings for the NBA in general are higher than TV ratings for the MLB, because I read it in the L.A. Times not too long ago...
Some say basketball is becoming America's most popular sport. Participation has grown by over 8% since 1987, while baseball has declined by more than 24%, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association.
Trauma-san:
Of course baseball is the greatest sport. It's also a true team sport, you can't carry a baseball team all by yourself. EVERYBODY has to be talented, or the team won't do well. There's virtually no way to play baseball selfishly. You can't hog the ball... you can't try and hotshot and show off, because generally you're either trying to get the ball to another player, or you're the only one involved in the play in the first play (I.E., catching a pop fly, tagging someone out)... so there's no egos and selfishness. It's a simple game but has complex deep rules with lots of statistics for people who prefer the depth of those aspects of a sport. Finally, it has a rich history of charismatic players and is buried in the history of our country. Not as many people watch anymore, but it's still the greatest sport. Just because people don't realize it doesn't make something less great, it is what it is, you can't change the truth.
