Baseball: Dying Sport, Thriving Password

Baseball, the so-called “dying sport” is more popular than football. Seriously. Throw your preconceptions out the window. Forget about the titanic ratings accrued by the Seahawks and Packers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. “Baseball” is a more popular password than “football.”

Right about now we’d traditionally wrap with a quip about Bud Selig, but as we know the former commish proudly eschews all electronic correspondence. Oh who are we kidding, Bud definitely goes with “696969.”
