Talk Of Third Major League In California Has Ended
NEA Special Correspondent Joe Wilmer reports that talk of a third major league in California has ended for now as the Pacific Coast League faces a 42 percent attendance drop in the first two weeks. Explanations point to exhibition overload, TV not a factor, high prices, and a cautious fan base. Industry voices cite the impact of too many major league exhibitions and players kept on a tight leash, with some markets showing stronger turnout for wrestling and other sports instead.
