I know I'm showing my age here(43) but remember running home from school to watch the playoffs in the afternoon. Taking a AM radio with an ear piece to listen on the way home. I would love to watch an afternoon game with my son (7) when I got home from work but I don't even tell him the games are on because its to late for him to watch. This is one of the reasons there are fewer and fewer baseball fans every year. I understand its all about the advertising dollar but an afternoon World Series game you watched with the family would be helpful in keeping the next generation interested in the former national pastime.
