Pay walled

I googled "Why Children Are Abandoning Baseball" and opened WSJ link there; it worked. Might give that a try.

Didn't read it but, as a non-american, non-japanese nor venezuelan, i wonder what is the fun of playing baseball, as it is mostly a still sport, with some sporadic movement. I really enjoy watching it because I can easily read a book without paying much attention to the game, which I can't do by watching basketball. But I usually sleep over the book and when i wake up, the game hasn't finished yet.

I can do this while watching soccer, too. A lot of movement, nothing actually happening.

Me too, but playing soccer is a lot more fun, even for one of the worst player in the world (myself), who can run the entire field during the whole game without ever receiving the ball. At least, I do my physical exercises.
