Sad sign of the times
5.10.06
The Wall Street Journal is reporting today that in order to get today's kids interested in collecting baseball cards, the Major League Baseball Player's Association is embarking on a new marketing campaign that includes instructions for what to do with the cards for today's clueless, wired-to-the-max, video-fried boys and girls.
"In the age of videogames, iPods and MySpace.com, it's an uncommonly difficult marketing challenge," writes Julia Angwin in "Comeback Kids?" in today's Journal. "Baseball cards are a relic of a quieter time, when generations of American boys spent hours sifting through their shoebox hoard, flipping them, flinging them, playing imaginary baseball games with them, trading them with friends or sticking them in the spokes of their bike wheels."
Angwin quotes Judy Heeter, director of business affairs for the player's union: "We found that kids really like the cards, but they're not sure what to do with them."
