MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/24: Highest Midseason Attendance Week of the Year
Last week saw some of the highest attendance numbers of the year, accounting not only on the fact that Miami and Tampa Bay were on the road, but even Oakland had decent attendance. The low water mark was the A’s vs the O’s with a completely-not-made-up 12,345 in attendance. The good news in all this…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/17: Most Ejections in a Week – EVER
The story of the week is ejections, SEVENTEEN, which is the most that we have seen in a week since 2015, when AMSTS began tracking ejections. Almost evenly split between the two leagues, meaning the gap between the AL and NL remains at only two ejections. On the attendance front, the Marlins were at home…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/10: Speedy Pace
The Marlins were the only team to draw below 10,000 last week [they also did not draw above 10,000], but no team in MLB managed to get outdrawn by a AA team or below: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Miami (22 AAA games), Seattle (4 AAA games), Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Detroit (2 games), Cleveland…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 5/26: Ideal Weather Nationwide
The Marlins being out of town and a holiday weekend helped buoy attendance this week, with only one team, the Pirates, drawing under 10,000, which happened to also be the only team to be outdrawn by minor league teams this week: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Pittsburgh (16 AAA games) The NL continued to…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 5/19: More Minor League Marlins
The Marlins nearly had a hundred minor league games better attended than their lowest attended game of the week last week, drawing only 5,947 in to see a game last week. The Marlins averaged 10,300 which actually brought their season attendance up a bit, but overall they are averaging fewer than 10,000 fans on the…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 5/12: Ejection Catchup

MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 5/5: M-Single A-rlins
The Miami Marlins and their pathetic attendance is the front line this week as the Marlins once again were outdrawn by a Single-A game three times this week, and by 26 more AAA games than any other MLB team: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Miami (37 AAA games), Baltimore (12 games),…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 4/28: Ejection Hangover
Tempers spiked last week with fifteen ejections, but apparently everyone got it out of their system, as only two ejections throughout baseball last week. Let’s take a look. The A’s were outdrawn by only AA and AAA teams this week, no Single-A team outdrew them, marking the first time this season an MLB team hasn’t…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 4/21: Double Your Ejections!
Tempers have gotten hot only three weeks into the season as FIFTEEN ejections doubled the season total of ejections in just a week. This was in part due to the White Sox – Royals brawl which brought in four ejections. Beyond that, plenty of other items of note this week. Let’s take a look. The…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 4/14: Chilly Weather
We’re into baseball season in April, and with it come the rain delays and cancellations. Both Minnesota and Texas only played four games this week, on account of a scheduled day off and some rainouts. Meanwhile, in Baltimore, some trouble getting butts in seats, as the Orioles had the lowest attended games in Oriole Park…
