ST. PETERSBURG, FL-Minor League Baseball attracted just short of 10-million fans in July and remained firmly on track to set a new all-time regular season attendance record for the fourth consecutive season. Total attendance for the 175 teams in affiliated baseball was 9,927,386, an increase of 84,122 over the July attendance in 2006.

The big turnouts in July pushed the season total to 32,591,987 fans, well on the way to another record. This year's total is an increase of 991,922 (3.1 percent) over the total through July a year ago, but involves more playing dates, since the season opened a day earlier this year.

The average crowd per playing date, however, reflects nearly the same increase, 2.8 percent, and was achieved from top to bottom in Minor League Baseball. Thirteen of the 15 leagues reported better average crowds this year than in 2006 and the other two were dead even.

Minor League Baseball attracted 41,710,357 fans in 2006, an all-time record for the 106-year-old industry. That came on top of a record 41,333,279 in 2005 and a record 39,887,755 in 2004.
