The year before Barry Bonds signed with the Giants they had an attendance of less than 400,000. The first year he was on the team they had attendance of 2,000,000+ and finished 1 game behind the Braves for the division. The increase in revenues that first year alone covered all of Bond’s first contract. Then Sosa and McGuire had their juiced up home run race and Bonds decided to juice and it all went down hill from there. But yeah, fans love to see the long ball.

With only four players on the team, do they also only play four innings?
Well, at least 9 and 4 are both “square” numbers.

To get a crowd, the team needs to start hitting home runs. That’ll draw in the crowds.

It could be argued that Wiley is just a tad “batty.”
