Challenges that face the MLB

The greatest challenge facing baseball today is the length of games. The average MLB game takes just under 3 hours to complete and for some fans that is too long. While the MLB has put in place things to speed up the game and the average game time has gone down the slow paced game is losing fans. With the addition of replay and the drawn out process that it has become going to the ballpark is getting boring for some, especially with the Phillies in their mediocre state. Kids are losing interest in baseball and focusing more on action sports like football and lacrosse and those sports could challenge baseball for viewers, baseball needs to change its ways soon to make the game more exciting.
