So, Commissioner Manfred: how is emulating the NFL & NBA going?
From The Athletic:
HR Derby TV audience also was way down. Let's add some more gimmicky special effects, DJs, smoke and fire cannons, mic'd players -- anything to distract from the sport itself!!!!!!!!! It is working so well.
A record-low number of viewers tuned into Tuesday night's MLB All-Star Game, according to data announced by FOX. The Midsummer Classic drew 7.507 million viewers, a 10 percent decline from 2021.
The downward trend in attention to baseball's All-Star Game has drastically reduced the gap between the MLB and other leagues in terms of All-Star game appeal. While baseball's contest still outpaces the NFL's Pro Bowl, the NBA's All-Star Game and the NHL's All-Star Game, the 2021 baseball rendition marked the first time the game ever drew an audience smaller than 8 million viewers.
