It Was About Demograhics!

Josh Schulz points out Redbird Nation responded this morning to the Posnanski column in my previous post. It was about demographics!


Let’s answer Posnanski’s points one at a time. As for attendance, it’s true – St. Louis draws the fifth-most fans in baseball. Last year we were sixth. The year before, seventh.

But is it really fair to compare St. Louis, with a metro area of 2.6 million people, with New York and Los Angeles, which attract fans from populations of 21.2 million and 16.4 million? Given our relatively tiny market size, St. Louis does spectacularly well in attendance.


I guess all my brain cells haven't died yet. :-)
