The A’s still have a hard time getting people to watch. Probably trail Antiques Roadshow in that market.

Antiques Roadshow has the little magic sound effect and sparkly graphical wizardry when they reveal the value of the items, though. If the A’s played that every time Josh Donaldson made a difficult play at 3rd the ratings would SOAR.

Yeah, like, bling bling bling, that Josh Donaldson your mom found at a garage sale in Chicago is now worth $150 million over 6 years!

The A’s essentially have no market the dominate in the Bay Area and Norther CA. The NY Times ran an interesting article dealing with baseball markets across the US.

The Giants do more than triple the viewership in the same market.

Because the Giants stole the A’s market.
