Poll finds baseball fans favor league changes and star power
A recent Gallup poll shows many Americans are baseball fans second only to football and largely supportive of MLB changes to boost appeal. It highlights high regard for players like Pedro Martinez and Sammy Sosa, rising home run totals, and broad support for a salary cap amid top salaries. The Yankees remain the most popular team despite heavy spending, while interleague play and league playoff formats are viewed positively. Babe Ruth is still named the greatest ever by a large majority.
