Everyone I know could care less about baseball. The only baseball anyone gets excited about around here is college ball and the College World Series.
Maybe it's a regional thing...maybe I just miss the "good old days"...I suppose I've just always seen baseball through the eyes of youth and maybe I'm seeing it now for what it really it. I guess it's jsut odd having players go from larger-than-life idols in your eyes to overpaid and immoral crybabies.
Oh well...

Your location says "Columbia, SC," so I think that is part of why you say no one really cares about MLB there. You don't really have a local baseball team. Plus, USC generally has a pretty good baseball team IIRC, so that could be it as well.
I don't think that kind of thing is limited to baseball. I doubt people in Lincoln, Nebraska, care about the NFL much, or people in Durham, North Carolina, about the NBA.
What you're talking about is a regional thing it seems to me. As another example, people here in Baltimore are going to start getting ready for lacrosse season soon. I doubt people in Kansas would care about lacrosse; it's a regional thing.
In areas with baseball, it is still a top draw.
