football and basketball have long surpassed it in popularity. The games are too long. Baseball still hasn't figured out how to market their stars like football does Brady and basketball does LeBron, Curry, Barkley and Shaq.

Barkley and Shaq are long-retired and they have more national commercials/visibility than any baseball player, including Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.

Trout has been the best in the game for a decade and Ohtani is the best thing since Babe Ruth. Baseball should team with an ad agency to pair those two together in a great campaign as they're both Angels...showing their likeability and their faces. It's a no-brainer that should've been done already.

I'm an Indians fan from way back (hate the new name) and I despair the state the game is in right now.
