There aren’t any large scandals at the moment, but the most well known scandal was when the White Sox were accused of intentionally losing the World Series in 1919 to the reds.
Despite any scandals, the popularity is not being tested. True fans will stay loyal to the game regardless or scandal.
Baseball however is declining in popularity, but mainly because of accessibility. Baseball requires many tools to play (glove, balls, bat, etc) and takes up quite a lot of space. Compared to other sports like basketball, which requires a ball and hoop, and minimal room, it just cannot compete.
Baseball however is my preferred sport, but this is simply preference.
