Home team : professional sports and the American metropolis
Most books that study professional sports concentrate on teams and leagues. In contrast, Home Team studies the connections between professional team sports in North America and the places where teams play. It examines the relationships between the four major professional team sports - baseball, basketball, football, and hockey - and the cities that attach their names, their hearts, and their increasing amount of tax dollars to big league teams. Michael Danielson is particularly interested in the political aspects of the connections between professional sports teams and cities
