Baseball Getting More Boring?

However, back to the question. Have postseason games gotten more exciting lately? The chart seems to say that the games got worse from the '20s to the '60s, then bounced back to the original standard.

This actually is an interesting article with some good research

But man does it ever fall right into the memes anti-stat people espouse.

I glanced over the article...

But I wonder myself if there is a different affect involved here. Baseball may actually be getting more exciting and more exciting, but the entertainment surrounding it (mainly football) may have gotten even more exciting at a greater rate.

I am the one who knocks.
