Don’t kid yourself Jimmy, if a cow ever got the chance he’d eat you and everyone you cared about

Yes, by an enormous margin.

2019 saw about 68M in total MLB attendance, 22M for NHL, 22M for NBA, 17M for NFL and 10M for MLS.

Might also have to do with the sheer volume of games. MLB teams have 81 home games per year, vs 41 for NBA and NHL, 17 for MLS and 8-9 for NFL. If your local MLB team isn’t a) fantastic and competing for a championship and/or b) woven into the fabric of the city (Boston, Yankees) it’s a tough sell to get people to spend a third of their summer days/nights going to the park.
