MLB and FOX have agreed to start World Series games earlier. The first pitch for all weeknight postseason games on FOX will be 7:57pm (ET). It's a start, some kids (and adults) will be able to stay up for the end of the game.
The future of baseball depends on making the game accessible to younger generations without breaking down traditions or making baseball more like other sports. I say bring back day games during the World Series. Have kids sneaking their radios into school again. Have teachers let their students watch the last innings of game seven. I know that's never going to happen but if we pair baseball with being mischievous or getting out of school work for the afternoon it would definitely get kids interested. There can be no discussion of World Series baseball at school, or work for that matter, when games start as late as they do.
