Is Baseball Still America's Past Time?

In the most recent years football fans have skyrocketed while baseball fans have dwindled. America's past time seems to be getting over shadowed by the much larger fan base of football. Even with all the publicity of football, is baseball still Americas past time?

Football fans say that it is now Americas new past time. They believe that now because there is a larger fan base that they have taken over as the new past time. Also they say that it is harder in football to use illegal substances. Sure they can still use steroids, but they need to have a hard workout and stay in good shape. One other thing they love to poke at is no salary cap in baseball. Everyone loves to blame the Yankees for being so good on the salary they pay their players. Even though they have all these reasons, baseball is still Americas past time.

Baseball has been around in America since 1846 when it was first invented by Alexander Cartwright. Ever since then it has been the most popular sport in America and still is a big deal 150 years later. Football hasn't been around anywhere near as long and not as many memories. Baseball has stood the test of time and has earned it's spot. Also football is a one day a week commitment. Baseball has 162 games in the regular season and football has only 16. Also they only have commercials in between innings and pitching changes, not specially allowed times and shows for commercialism. Baseball is still the great American past time.
