>>>Numbers are the reason I will never lose my love of baseball. Fake hulks like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire can stain its reputation but its allure will never die. The Rangers, a team going absolutely nowhere, having dumped their best player at the trade deadline, score 30 runs and then add 9 runs in the second game to complete a doubleheader sweep. Go figure.

>D/FW is a lousy sports market in general. All they care about is winners, who they beat their chests about until the steers come home. They turn on losing teams faster than you can turn your mother in law's picture to the wall. The Scowboys were pulling in about 25,000 souls in the losing years. Plus, all they care about is football. There is an apt saying that there are two sports in Texas: football and spring football.


Oh... I don't know about that. Cowboys have been selling out as long as I can remember. Even in the strike years in the eighties they were pretty much full. And the Mavericks sell out all the time now. Heck, even the Ranger do pretty well as far as getting the people out to the ball park.

I would say they're passionate about their teams, well maybe except for the Rangers. They come to expect mediocrity from them. :)

And football is the #1 past time now. So of course football is king....
