NEW YORK (AP) -Major League Baseball averaged 31,111 fans for its first 93 games of the season, down 4.5 percent from the 2008 final average of 32,539 that the commissioner’s office announced at the end of the season.
Attendance is usually weakest in April and September, when cold weather causes a drop for some teams in the Northeast and Midwest.
MLB would not announce what a comparison between the first week of 2009 and the first week of 2008 because it has not announced weekly comparisons for several seasons, spokesman Rich Levin said Monday.
