the link to the article on the front page of cnn.com said

"Only 974 reportedly show up for MLB game"

i had a feeling it was Monday's sox game they were talking about.

Word is the actual attendance at Monday's #Rays-#WhiteSox game - people who used tickets to come in - was 974

Remember when JORR used to talk about baseball attendance as a reason that baseball was more popular than football?

Like 95% of the reason of attending baseball is to sit in the sun and drink beer/spit seeds. The other 5% is to actually watch the usual snoozefest on the field.

Can't blame people for not going to games until June for any Midwest/Northeast team.

No games should be held in Chicago, Boston, New York, Minnesota, Clevaeland, Phlly, Pittsburgh prior to May 1.
