Filed under: MLB Playoffs
Baseball attendance is down again. Interest is slipping as the playoffs approach. In the post-Steroids Era, the game needs a boost and a bump, some new kind of juice.Ersatz pennant races -- like one between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East -- have little drama with nothing to gain but home-field advantage.
With at least a wild-card playoff berth clinched, the Yankees will rest regulars to play backups. The Rays are giving away tickets.
Crisis equals opportunity and baseball should take full advantage to make a change that seems radical but would merely bring the sport into step with its competition.
