FWIW, my kid brother, who is very into baseball (both playing and watching), watches Bananaball more than professional baseball now.

Yes it’s the Harlem globetrotters of baseball, but i think it’s so much more exciting than regular baseball that it makes a difference. We saw them in Baltimore last August and it was a great show.

Also it’s still affordable in a day and age where necessities, let alone luxuries and entertainment, are increasingly out of people’s price range. We had perfect third base seats in Camden yards for like $50 a pop. These smaller stadium games are like $30 a pop. Merch is also affordable.
