The Great Game?

What if they threw a World Series and nobody watched? The television ratings are hitting new lows.

It saddens me that the greatest game ever invented is losing (has lost?) the interest of the American public. But yet, NASCAR's popularity is increasing in droves.

So, lemme get this straight: Cars go fast and turn left some 1,200 times in a race and that holds our nation's interest, yet a sport with over 120 years of history which requires some of the greatest skill and provides season-long drama can't get folks to watch?

Once again, I'm so far afield from my fellow sports watchers.
