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.

Why stop there, cut the baseball season down to 100 games played between May 1 and September 15

If work wasn't an issue (we're shorthanded at the moment), I would have went Monday or Yesterday.

Same with me, if it wasn't for work, I may have gone to yesterday, that's why hoping going in a week or 2 when the Mariners come in
