I think the pace of the game—the extra hour or so compared to the "old days"—is only a small part of the problem.
I suspect the key to the sagging interest in MLB is the answer to the question, Why does nobody really care who wins or loses? If you are deeply emotionally involved, the pace of the game becomes irrelevant.
People were certainly involved years ago—to the point of exhilaration and despair. I know I was. What happened since the days when the World Series would set records for TV audience?
