MLB: 3 billion to this day
The national organization of Major League Baseball has come to serve 3 billion fans, as of September 28, 2010. Dating back to 1901, MLB and its stadiums have hosted now 3 billion fans, which is truly a milestone for the league altogether. This momentous occurrence happened when the 3 billionth fan entered the Coors Field gate to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies game. It took 75 years to reach the first billion fans, in 1976, and in 1997, finally reached over 2 billion. From this point on, and 13 years later, MLB has had attendances to their games of over 3 billion. Baseball is a basic principle of American culture and will continue to be so, even after its hosting of its 3 billionth fan. The organization will always flourish from the support of its fans, no matter what.

WOW. Thats pretty incredible to have such a large fan base over the years. I do consider baseball to be a very entertaining sport so I can imagine it having such a great and large amount of fans. But 3 million fans? The number seems unimaginable, it's just incredible to even imagine so many people uniting for the love of one sport.
