As a huge baseball fan going back to when the Giants played at Candlestick Park, I can say for certainty that Giants fans are fair weather fans. When they win, there's a considerable attendance boost. When they're looking up at the Dodgers/Padres, the seagulls outnumber the fans. The problem with KNBR has everything to do with its on-air personalities - besides G Papa and Marty Lurie, nobody can speak intelligently about baseball. As far as baseball being ranked third, I think that's fair, but baseball attendance has been trending up the past 3 seasons, so I think some of the recent rule changes have brought back some of the fans.
