Attendance, for the record. I'm shocked how bad it is in Pittsburgh. And that Washington, DC is #11 in the MLB. Seems high.[...]
A lot of the Pirates' recent fandom may have bailed after McCutcheon was dealt - as at many other clubs, many people won't pay major-league ticket prices to watch a rebuild.
Regarding the Nats' surprisingly high attendance, this takes in the recent homestands against the Pirates and Phillies in which the local nine did well both on the diamond and at the gate - build a winner and they will come.
