Major League Baseball's problem
Recently quite a bit of concern has been expressed re declining attendance at games. Quite a few rules changes have been proposed or adopted to speed up the game.....which will have a trivial effect.
The average game takes over 3 hours. The seven game 1946 world series between the Sox and Cards had no game over two hours and one game at 1 hr and 46 minutes.
Baseball was 9 inning game then as it is now. What happened? Unless BB adopts a pitch clock interest and attendance will continue to decline.
