Baseball still faces tough economy: commissioner

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Major League Baseball still faces an uncertain U.S. economy that led to lower attendance and financial losses at some clubs this year, the commissioner of the U.S. sports league said on Thursday.

“I’ve said this all year and I’ll say it again, we’re living in the most difficult economic environment since the Great Depression,” Bud Selig said to reporters at a meeting of owners in a hotel here.

“We don’t live in a bubble,” he said, acknowledging that some clubs he would not identify lost money this season.

The league’s regular-season attendance fell 6.6 percent to 73.4 million in its recently completed season as consumers dialed back spending in the weak economy. The teams with the biggest declines were in markets that suffered from high unemployment, including Detroit, Cincinnati, San Diego, Oakland and the Florida Marlins in Miami.

i went to, 9 reds home games, and one away game. Although three times I bought tickets from a scalper, and twice i used free credit card tickets, and once I used free tickets provided by my fiances families company. So I guess I am part of the problem.

Yes you are a big part of the problem - You should be attending somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 - 45 games a season.

by selig working on the schedule

does that mean returning to the way things were done in 2006? That seems pretty simple.

Why can't we just go back to 154 games

More double headers and 7th inning Wet T shirt contests?

I'd make it the 9 1/2 inning wet tshirt contest

Maybe then the Reds would be motivated on the road to score some runs and make the other team bat in the bottom of the inning.

What I like about the tightened schedule is that it will force teams to use more than 2 starting pitchers.

wet t-shirt contest in April?

Uh, I know what I like and all, but that sounds dangerous in the Detroit market
