When Roger Maris broke the single season home run record in 1961 there were 23,000 fans in attendance in a stadium that holds 67,000. It was a Sunday afternoon. Fans were probably more interested in watching NFL (and AFL) football on TV. The day before only 19,000 fans showed up. Big college football day.

Are we making a distinction, and what's it looking like in other continents?

I suppose if it ever becomes popular in one of the larger countries, we haven't hit peak popularity yet. Barring that I guess it was back in the 1990s. It looks like that's when Litle League participation peaked, and it was also close to its current level of international (S. America, Caribbean, and East Asian) popularity by then. I suppose 1998 is correct.

Not Bill Maher's, but MLB's. I predict that whatever decline baseball has experienced lately in its enormous attendance--25,000-30,000 per contest in a 162-game season followed by packed stadiums for a month of playoffs; what other sport comes even close to that level of interest?--will soon be reversed with the clock and other efforts to make the game watchable again. They have changed everything for me, I'll tell you. The rumors of this great game's imminent demise are decidedly premature, I think.

I don't watch the game today. But I wish I had watched last night's Mariners - Yankees game. The Yankees, no hit through 7 innings, come back and win? That's crazy!

Money corrupts everything. MLB baseball is, like every other business, all about and only about money. Pick any iconic moment in baseball history before money ruined it. It almost all came crashing down way back in 1919 with The Black Sox and fixing the World Series, but Babe Ruth came along and single-handedly saved the game. So no, I disagree with Judge Landis with the Senators winning in 1924 as the apex.
