I don't watch the game anymore and don't go to games.
If I get free baseball tickets from a vendor I give them away or throw them away.

That squares with my own experience and what I've heard about baseball. They say the sport still hasn't recovered from the 1994 strike. I know I lost interest, and it hasn't come back.
There was an interesting story on NPR's Freakenomics program just yesterday. Their study showed the average baseball player who quits the sport in his early 20s makes 40% more money in his lifetime than the average career player.
