Viagra and Flomax ads reveal baseball's demographics

(Vecsey, NY Times Re: Angels-Red Sox ALDS): "A five-hour game may be just what this country needs in the coming bad times.

• For everybody who can still afford a television set, there will be an entire evening of family entertainment. Maybe they’ll start the games earlier,

• and do away with the Viagra and Flomax ads that suggest

• the demographics of baseball’s audience.

Before long, the players may be working for a dime on the dollar — and be grateful, at that —

• and ticket prices may drop from the current obscene levels planned by the Mets and the Yankees in their new luxury-box palaces.

• Every extra-inning game on the tube will be sort of a
• patriotic gift to hard-pressed fans at home."
