I don't doubt that FA has resulted in baseball outpacing GDP. But keep in mind that the best fit for GDP growth isn't a straight line, it's a logarithmic fit. That means that the curve takes on a hockey-stick shape -- which essentially means an explosive growth in the later years of the curve, which just happens to coincide with FA.
That said...
it wasn't a pure regression fit as I did goose up the growth rate a little in the FA era
