The business of baseball

"This book recounts the business history of baseball since its inception, identifying and analyzing the most significant problems (most of which have existed from the early days of professional teams) and proposing solutions. It covers some of Major League Baseball's greatest players and their economic impact on the game. Major topics include the roles of franchise owners, commissioners, and players' unions in organized baseball; the influence of Major League ballparks and fans; and how all of these affect baseball as a game and a business."--BOOK JACKET
