In terms of the worry about a declining interest in baseball, I offer the following chart for discussion. It plots the MLB per game average attendance against the total population of the U.S. This allows one to see what relationship, if any, exists between the two.
For the purposes of the graph, I divided the national U.S. population figure by 10,000 for each year to put it on a similar scale as the per game attendance figure.
