2011 MLB Season Well Underway

Posted on: May 22, 2011 by No Comments

The 2011 MLB season is well underway. Teams have already been jockeying for position to try and gain strong momentum to stay on top for the very long season. The MLB has long been criticized that the season seems too long. However, there seems to be no reason they feel they should have to change it. The more games they have the more viewers they will get, then the more commercial spots they can sell to make money in a very down economy. Some teams with lower attendance suffer more than most since they are always trying to find ways to draw fans into their stadiums to watch the teams play.

However, when the season is as long as it is and if that team is struggling, it is really hard to give a fan a reason to leave the comfort of their home to head to the ballpark. Parking costs a ton, then you have tickets to buy, and if you’re rich then food.

The ballpark experience can be great for the family to enjoy though. But with gas higher and things just costing more, many families cannot afford to take in as many games as they once could. Either way, the season is here and going strong, sit back and enjoy.

The 2009 MLB Playoffs Are Here

Posted on: October 7, 2009 by No Comments

For the avid baseball fan, the balance between regular life and baseball is a tough thing to balance. Now that all the regular season games are over and the playoffs have started, deciding what games to watch and how many can be tough. For some fans who don’t care whether their favorite team made it or not, the MLB playoffs are exciting to watch no matter who is playing and when.

For the past several years though the numbers of viewers who watch the games have sunk to all time lows. The World Series used to be a big thing to watch. It seems that the interest in baseball with the younger generations have faded though. The MLB may need to consider making some changes to entice young viewers to watch the game. For many the games and the season can be too long and tedious. For some of us though it is hard to break traditions. An argument can be made that making changes to the game or season could kill it.

Whatever your opinion is, the coming of fall and the MLB playoff season can be a very exciting time. Here is a recap on the 2009 MLB Playoff season! Remember to have fun and enjoy! Enjoy this great article on the playoffs!
