Maybe I'm late to the party and everyone has already seen this, but if not this website has some interesting takes on the state of the game.

I've added a couple of my own, feel free to add yours.
right- Still the cheapest ticket in pro sports
wrong- Ticket prices at Fenway
right- The international influx of talent, the WBC
wrong- Not enough kids, especially urban kids, playing the game. I honestly think the best hope might be East Indian and Pakistani immigrants converting from cricket, but everyone from the Indian sub-continent I've talked to said that this is a longshot.
right- Anna Benson
wrong- Jessica Biel
right- Seven different World Series winners in seven years, parity without the pathetic mediocrity of the "Any Given Sunday" NFL
wrong- A awful play in this year's postseason. The Twins looked like frightened seventh-graders. The World Series was decided by the Tigers' inability to throw the ball to make force outs. As my wife said, it was "gross."
right- The American League
wrong- The National League
