A belated BtBS this week on account of Memorial Day, which I hope you enjoyed.
Oakland made an attempt to reclaim their low attendance crown from the Marlins, drawing 6,991 in their lowest attended game of the week, while the Marlins were able to muster a relatively strong crowd of 7,512 and were the only team to average below 10,000 fans on the full week.
Overall, nine teams were outdrawn by at least one AAA game last week when Monterrey drew nearly 20,000 for their game against Aguascalientes.
MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Oakland (below 57 AAA games), Miami (below 41 AAA games), Tampa Bay (below 10 AAA games) and the Chicago White Sox (below 4 AAA games), Cincinnati, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cleveland (below 1 AAA game)
MLB teams outdrawn by AA teams: Oakland (below 7 AA games), Miami (below 5 AA games), Tampa Bay and the Chicago White Sox (below 1 AA game)
MLB teams outdrawn by A teams: Oakland (below 10 A games) Miami (below 4 A games).
Time of game hit the 3:00 mark exactly with every team playing a game shorter and one longer than the mark on the full week. With only a handful of 4+ hour games in the past few weeks, average game length has trended consistently down after being up early on the year.
Now finally, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
