Appalachian League Faces Attendance Challenge in Rookie System
Warrn LeTarte of the NAPBL warns that minor league crowds suffer when majors underwrite teams. Pirates executive O'Toole notes a $40,000 operating cost with only $2,300 receipts, as the rookie league relies on major backing and booster events. LeTarte says local clubs fail to promote, giving the majors cost and control. Despite low forecasts, early Appalachian clubs outdrew Class B leaders last season.
