The crack of the bat, the cheering of fans and the agility and athleticism of the players are all characteristics that many people fondly associate with Major League Baseball. However, the players' strike and owners' lockout in 1994 and 1995 brought the game under great scrutiny, revealing a side of baseball that is not admirable, honorable, or enjoyable. Nor is this darker side of "America's Pastime" a recent development. The majority of problems in today's Major Leagues are a continuation of ills that have plagued organized baseball since its inception. This book examines the business of baseball, addressing its most significant problems and proposing solutions. It covers some of Major League Baseball's greatest players and their effect on the game and its business. Among the many topics analyzed are the roles of franchise owners, commissioners, and players' unions in organized baseball. The book also examines Major League ballparks and baseball fans, and considers how they are relevant to baseball as a game and a business.

There are many sports-related books about what happens on the playing field, but few are written about the equally interesting stories of what happens on the business side. Why acquire a professional sports team? What goes into the branding, marketing and entertainment that make some teams successful, and others not? What are the challenges that managers and staff face? Are there valuable lessons from the major and minor leagues for university, high school and other amateur sports programs? How do sports teams generate a profit? While the examples are drawn from the business of baseball, the lessons are applicable to other sports and many retail businesses.

During the second half of the twentieth century, Major League Baseball and its affiliated minor leagues evolved from local and regional entities governing the play of America's favorite pastime to national business organizations. The relocation of teams, league expansion, the advent of free agency and an influx of international players has made baseball big business, on an increasingly global scale. Focusing on the last fifty years, this work examines the past and present commercial elements of organized baseball, emphasizing the dual roles--competitive sport and profitable business--which the sport must now fulfill. Twenty-five essays cover five areas integral to the economic side of baseball: business and finance, human resources, international relations, management and leadership and sports marketing. Detailed discussions of the redistribution of revenues, the history of player unionization, aggressive global marketing, strategies of franchise owners and an evaluation of fan costs, among other topics introduce the reader to the important issues and specific challenges professional baseball faces in an increasingly crowded--yet geographically expansive--sports marketplace. The work is also indexed.

Excerpt from Baseball Secrets: How I Made From $1, 000 to $5, 000 a Year in the Baseball Business by Promoting and Managing My Own Club From the standpoint of honesty and morality success may be said to crown ones life and career when he has attained that point where all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life are procurable; where his position is an assured one of independ ence; where his resources and abilities have full unrestricted play in bringing forth those latent qualities which are within every one of us, waiting to be developed and en larged. In other words, we all want to add to our income provided'we can do so in a manner that will be honorable, thus entering the ranks of the perfectly inde pendent worker or business man, and en joy an income much in excess of that paid in our regular vocation. In the following chapters of this little book I will endeavor to explain in a clear and simple way the methods of how I made from to a season in the baseball business in an honorable and legitimate way, so that any young man with ordinary intelligence can rise above an ill-paid position and es tablish a profitable business of his own in the conduction of which he can be per fectly independent. Baseball is becomingmore and more popular each year. Both of the big leagues are playing to larger crowds each season than ever before. The smaller cities are also turning out larger crowds, and never before in the history of baseball has there been a better opportu mity to break into the baseball profession than at the present time.

"The book's objective is to define, implement and enforce a working model for the business of baseball management discipline and classic baseball philosophy that is supported by economics, finance, and baseball sabermetrics instead of the currently popular replacement of the discipline and philosophy with rotisserie-like use of sabermetrics." - p.8
