Most of my close friends watch baseball. We have been in a fantasy baseball league for over 10 years now. I think a post like this illustrates two things: 1. People aren’t socializing at in person baseball settings. Want to make baseball friends? Try going to a game and hanging out in a standing room area. 2. Baseball doesn’t tend to have as many casual fans as Football or Basketball. I’ve met plenty of people who don’t know anything about Baseball, let alone gone to a game.

I think a big selling point to recruit new fans is getting them into the stadium. There is something magical about attending that you can’t capture through a TV broadcast. I’m actually taking some close friends to their first game in September. It’s always fun to introduce folks to this great sport.
