According to a gallup poll conducted in 2003, 39% of sports fans believed baseball to be in a state of crisis. In a similar USA Today Poll in the same year, 33% of fans said they were following baseball less closely than they used to. In seven years since then, the only things to change are higher ticket prices, higher player salaries, higher merchandise prices and a diminished image due to the 'steroid era'. Colloquially referred to as our nation's greatest pastime, baseball's large markets are becoming status symbols for the affluent instead of reasonably priced entertainment.

These polls aren't startling. People don't like whats happening to baseball, that is they do not support paying $100 per ticket so Alex Rodriquez can cheat and still get paid millions. People have a problem with baseball, we know this, so why don't they do something about it? One person won't make a difference, it's time to organize and stand together.
