having not played organized baseball since about 1982 I can't comment on costs or organization, but I usually blame the strike in '94 that cancelled the season for killing the sport in Canada. Seemed that interest just died in the game at that point; I know that crowds were down for a LONG time in the States after '94, but they never recovered north of the 49th. The Jays' fortunes went downhill at that point, and the Expos never recovered. Triple A dried up within ten years, nationally, too. I personally haven't watched a single game since then, and I've spoken to many who had the same reaction.
