It always bothers me when people talk about attendance and only mention the average per game, because that doesn't account for ballpark capacity. For example, if you compared the Dodgers' 2026 average of 49,805 (highest in the league) with the Athletics' 9,867 (lowest) without mentioning that the Athletics are currently playing in a minor league ballpark that only seats 13,416, that would be misleading.
I put each team's capacity and average attendance in 2026 into a chart. The Blue Jays and Padres averaged over 100% attendance because of SRO options, while the Marlins and Royals averaged under 50% attendance. The league average was 72.50% in 2026, and the Athletics were at 73.55%.
Here is the full chart with teams ranked from highest attendance percentage to lowest:

The way 🇨🇦Leylah Fernandez runs over to her father, Jorge Fernandez, after winning the title in Singapore is EVERYTHING.
They have such a special bond. And that little handshake they share at the end, too.🥹❤️

For emphasis: the Trump Administration is not “mediating the dispute” between Russia and Ukraine. The Trump Administration is working actively to help Russia to achieve its goals in the war, and hopes that it can actively benefit financially from the consequences of what will follow. The Trump Administration is also actively supporting the AFD in Germany, and right wing parties throughout Europe and the rest of the world, including Canada. This policy has been clearly articulated in the US National Security Strategy which was published by the State Department in December of 2025. This needs to sink in, and is part and parcel of The Great Disruption.

The White House banned all tequila sales from Canada. The problem? Canada does not make tequila. Anywhere.
Genius stuff America, genius stuff. 🤡

#OTD 112 years ago, Babe Ruth stepped to the plate for the Providence Grays against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Hanlan's Point Stadium on Toronto Island and belted his only minor league home run.
He also hurled a one-hit shutout to lead his club to a 9-0 win.

“We are going through an energy shock. Ukraine has decided that they want to blow up Russian energy assets. This is creating pressure on prices globally,” – Bessent.
Ukraine has “decided”?
Are you fucking kidding me???
Russia has spent years bombing our power plants, destroying our energy infrastructure, attacking our cities and trying to freeze Ukrainians in winter.
Ukraine didn’t wake up one morning and “decide” it would be fun to attack Russian energy infrastructure.
We are fighting a fucking war of survival because RUSSIA INVADED US.
So sorry about your “energy shock.”
We’re experiencing the slightly bigger inconvenience of trying not to fucking die.

Canada is no longer the only country with a loonie for its $1 coin.

Before you ride an e-scooter, know the rules.
Under 16? You can’t ride - anywhere.
16 or 17? You must wear a helmet and where you can ride depends on the municipality.
Know the rules. Ride responsibly. Stay safe.

It's time to repost this explanation from Scott Galloway of how the U.S disproportionately benefits from trade with Canada, in pure economic shareholder value terms. Added bonus, he shuts up Kevin O'Leary who is speechless. #cdnpoli #ableg

Had a front row seat. I was working in the studio (behind the HNIC neon) doing out-of-town scores that night. CBC had bailed out of Brier coverage for national news earlier in the day then doubled down with PHI-MTL. One of the most iconic moments in Canadian sports TV history.
