If you go way back in time the games started earlier with games only being played during the day. When lights were added, night games were played drawing more fans who had to work during the day to the ballparks. More fans attending ball games generates more revenue for the Baseball club.

The major difference in the game over the past 30 years in the game of baseball that would effect the starting time is the lenght of time it take to play a game. The time it takes to play a game today is longer. The same working class fans that night games draw to the ballparks have to work the next day as well. Later games means later bed time, and this could keep fans away, so the games were moved up about a half hour to accommodate them. Advertising revenue generated by television games are also effected by later games with television sets being turned off before the game is over. The earlier games fit more into "Prime Time" -Steven KeyMan
