Publisher's Summary: If only America's favorite pastime was as simple as apple pie. With revenues averaging $60 million per team, players raking in $1 million, and the sport collecting tens of millions of dollars in public subsidies, baseball is more than just a game, it's big business. Until now, the business of baseball has been run with a degree of secrecy that international intelligence agencies would envy. Here, this probing account lays bare the greed, abuse of the public trust, and poor management that threaten the future of the game. Author Andrew Zimbalist is a professor of economics at Smith College, and served as a consultant for a 9-part documentary on baseball. |
