Even those poor pathetic small market teams that you're worried are being driven out of business by salary disparity are doing better. The Pirates drew more than 1.4 million fans this season. In the entire decade of the 1980's, when they were still considered a competitive team, they only topped that mark twice. I doubt you'll find a single team in MLB that's drawn fewer fans this decade than they did in the 1980's.
