Default Re: Any Hope for Small Market Baseball Teams?

Hell it would make more sense to go with an NFL like program because then small market teams have a chance at winning the WS and filling seats and they still get their checks from profit sharing.
Thats where baseball and football are different. The Marlins have two WS series championships and teams that always compete and never fill seats. A salary cap ain't gonna change that. Same goes for the Rays, they won the ALCS last year and went all the way to the WS and attendance didn't change one bit. Having a winning team doesn't guarantee filling seats, small markets just don't have the same fan base. Football and Baseball are different

I'm sure if we started seeing more Brewers vs Royals WS baseball would readily catapult itself back into the biggest sport in America
