Post blogger Jonathan Lekstutis in his latest blog questions if baseball is still America’s pastime or if football has taken the title. Lekstutis blogs, “I went to the Hickory House and La Cantina on Monday night to watch game 5 of the World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. To my surprise, in each case there were more televisions set to Monday Night Football than there were to the World Series game. The patrons at the restaurant were also more concerned with the football game. And this wasn’t just any baseball game, it was the World Series and the Phillies were on the brink of eliminating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. So it turns out that just a regular Monday Night Football Game was able to attract more attention than a World Series playoff elimination game.”
