The Economics of Baseball in the 21st Century
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the issues associated with the fact that baseball is big business. The acrimonious strike by major-league baseball players in 1994 and 1995 dealt the game a terrible blow. But the strike only confirmed what baseball fans already knew. Each new season sees the game�s best players competing for the title of highest-paid athlete. But in terms of the economics of baseball, issues such as salary caps, revenue sharing, and whether or not there is truly a bias in favor of �big money-big market� teams have earned a greater amount of attention than many of the nuances of baseball. This paper examines the fact that there should be a greater level of parity in baseball. Nobody denies that the character and promotion of baseball has changed. This paper looks at issues and solutions regarding those changes and their resolution. Bibliography lists 12 annotated sources and copies of those sources.

Though the Orange Bowl stadium was 50 years old in the 1980s, local government owners would not approve any substantial renovations and provided only minimal maintenance. Joe Robbie managed some creative financing for his $110 million stadium, building it in less than four years completely with private funds, none of which were his own. The Robbie family sold both the stadium and the Dolphins to Wayne Huizenga after Robbie's death in 1990, and a marketing arrangement has it renamed to Pro Player Stadium until 2006.
