Baseball lives for the big moment but there is a lot of downtime in between and you also have to appreciate the strategy of the game. Not a good combination with the action overload of today's world.
This is why soccer will probably overtake baseball as the #3 sport in the US. Combine that with immigration of soccer fans and you can see baseball receding.
