Baseball was riding a crest of popularity - and really had no major competition. Football was just starting its climb, and basketball and hockey weren't even on the roadmap.But football started to slowly take the interest of people more and more. Starting with the Colts/Giants OT playoff game but fully grabbing the attention of the American populace when the Jets beat the Colts in Super Bowl III, football started its climb that has ended with the NFL having its own network and programming being available 24/7.
Football really has replaced baseball as the American Pastime, and NASCAR has the possibility of replacing both.
But why was baseball so popular in the 60s? Because for many generations before, there just wasn't anything else to compete.

I believe more people watched people in the 60's because there was more dominant players. Using a 4 man starting rotation, pitchers (like Sandy Koufax) would get a chance to start 40, usually more, games, allowing them to get more dominant numbers. Hitters would use the whole field, runners would steal home, take the extra bag and get in exciting run downs.They played more for fun that for money in the 60's and before, and i think it was easy for the fans to pick up
