What's wrong with this picture??
Most people find baseball to be boring. It's hard to build interest from nothing. Maybe people in central Florida just aren't interested in our national past-time?

Not that it will never happen, but it certainly won't happen by 2014, and there will be a lot of debate/drama before any MLB/NBA team gets contracted.

Transient area, high unemployment, no tradition, horrible stadium, horrible location.
Still should be better than it is, though.

That is part of it, too.
My kids were interested in going to a game once, just to check out the stadium, but now they just say no when I ask if they want to go.
Calling baseball "our national past-time" in 2011 is just wrong. Football has been the real national past-time for years...someone just forgot to tell the baseball folks!!!

The brilliant writer Jonah Keri wrote a book about the Rays called The Extra 2%. I interviewed Jonah and previewed the Rays season at http://www.sports-casters.com
