Despite being our national pastime, baseball has seen a significant decrease in interest over the past 10 years. As a result, attendance has reached an all time low across Major League Baseball, with minor league baseball also seeing a decrease in attendance. I had the chance to sit down and interview Matt Mancuso, a current freshman at TCNJ who, just like me, is a big baseball fan. Mancuso detailed how his recent experience at a Trenton Thunder game allowed him to watch players develop and cited enjoying some high thrill moments as reasons why baseball games are still worth attending. Additionally, he explained how different ballparks across the country have many attractions that add to the experience of going to games.
