3.The audience was important for the transformation of baseball because of ______.
A.economic interests
B.sense of companionship
C.player performance
D.rivalries between teams
正确答案：A
解析：原文提到：’The audience of baseball was instrumental… As economic interests infiltrated the game, the need for audiences and spectators arose.’ 并在后文总结中指出：’due to capitalism…’，故经济利益是根本动因，A最准确。
解析：原文结尾明确指出：’transforming the sport of baseball into a monopolized and professional business.’ A错误（文中说’not until the time of the Civil War’）；B、C是Commission传播的’myth’，非事实。
