You said baseball. I just mentioned Cincinnati because I just went to a game there. Look across major league baseball. Yeah there are some dogs but try going to a Braves game. Today the Orioles had 12,000 kids in attendance.
Of course there's places that are baseball strong like Boston, Atlanta and New York, but the sport overall is way behind the other two sports, basketball and football. Baseball is a great game, but it's only really great for those who have followed it for a while.
For me as a kid in the 1970's and early 80's, it was the stats that really interested me. I love keeping stats of the players each Sunday paper. I loved playing, I loved batting practice and I loved how it was a deliberate game. Plenty of time on the field to think about your game.

Sorry buddy, but I never liked the Reds. I didn't hate them like I hated the Yankees or Dodgers. My first little league team was the A's in 1976 and I was a A's fan until 1992. The supetstation, WTBS, was one of the first cable channels we had and the Braves were my 2nd favorite team until that magical worst to first in 1991 turned me into a full blown Braves fan.
I've mostly followed collegiate sports in my life and my only favorite pro team has always been baseball.
