Most fans took pride in sitting there and fancied that real fans would sit nowhere else that the grandstand occupants were people who didn’t really know and love baseball, but just idlers drifting to a ball game out of curt osity or to kill time, In those days, tno, the bleachers were the “close up” in baseball. Now they give nothing but a sort of birdseye view, and that may be a ontributing factor, The fan wants to be near the diamond, When they moved the bleachers back and swung the grandstands around the base lines, he naturally drifted to the grandstands—as soon as he found the price. A few years ago one would have said that gaps in the bleachers meant decline in real baseball interest, but now a new viewpoint ts taken and we refuse to fret when we see the sun seats empty. Hail the slogan of the New Era: A grandstand seat for every fan, and enough money for every fan that he can afford it.
