Although many things have not changed in the game of baseball, many other things have. It does not occur anymore. Besides, these guys are just trying to bring home the bacon- along with the new Mercedes. Their faces are plastered on more things today than they ever have been before. Merchandising is the new key element in gaining fans.
Teams now have clubhouse stores in malls as well as in the stadium.
All kinds of memorabilia are made and waiting for a championship game to be won, and as soon as it is won, the merchandise all goes on sale. From jerseys to team hats or even silly hats, fans are all decked out to go to a game. But this adds to the fun and adrenaline in the game. A true fan has to show who they're rooting for as well as to get everyone around them rooting for the team just as enthusiastically. And as mentioned before, at this game will be seen advertisements.
