How is baseball dying? I'm pretty sure it's #2 behind football....where are these attendance numbers and tv ratings you speak of? Any links?

Everywhere
comparing nba to mlb average attendance is kinda a dumb argument. the average MLB stadium is like 30,000??? Average NBA arena is 18,000. but besides that, ur graphs look tight
They also play double the games of the NBA but that doesn't matter.

It's not dying but it has become a game for weird stat geeks and old people. It's a real archaic looking sport in 2012 also.

No. Twitter and baseball are good friends. Don't you worry.

Also, these graphs and tables and charts are making the nba look a little :flabbynsick:
