That explains it. I stopped following Baseball during the last strike.
The World Series of baseball has been played in October for at least a hundred years.
It always seemed like a warm time of year back in the day when I followed it. Global cooling must be throwing me off.
Also World Series games used to take place in the daytime.
That seems to be the case in all sports, where are the boxing personalities, or the tennis personalities, like we had in the 1970s. A Heavyweight Championship fight, or a Wimbledon final, was "must watch TV", now, meh.
“A few years ago when Halo 3 came out for Xbox, 1st day sales were more than total ticket sales for the NY Yankees (Over 3 million attendance that year).”

With remote controlled drones in the air and on the ground seeming the future of the battlefield I don’t know. I suspect both groups have a significant portion of their populations that are overweight.
