Major League Baseball and the Umpires Association
(8 Pages, 87.6 USD)

This 8 page report discusses the controversies that have revolved around labor issues of Major League Baseball and baseball umpires. Certain fundamental labor issues are in force, however, the unique aspects of professional sports adds to the overall complexity of the process. The decision by the umpires to “quit” rather than strike in September of 1999 ultimately backfired on them and they have had to work to reconstruct some type of a professional association for collective bargaining. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

(8 Pages, 87.6 USD)
|
|
This 8 page report discusses the current trends in the construction of professional baseball stadiums. The technology and construction is top of the line high-tech while the theme and the style is a return to classicism. Stadiums such as Camden Yard in Baltimore and Comerica Park in Detroit (with its merry-go-round and Ferris wheel) attempt to make every effort to recreate the kinder, gentler days of baseball in the age of Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig. The new stadiums also want to seat more people, attract more fans, increase advertising and sponsorship revenue, and serve more food and drink that include such traditional baseball fare as cappuccino and microbrew ale.

Strategic Plan for an Intercollegiate Athletic Program
(15 Pages, 164.25 USD)
|
|
A 15 page paper outlining a plan to promote the "other" collegiate sports. The "big three" - football, basketball and baseball - gain most of the attention given collegiate sports, with baseball trailing at a significant distance. There are nearly two dozen other intercollegiate sports recognized and regulated by the NCAA, however, and most receive far less attention from local fans and media. Increasing budgetary constraints result in increased financial pressures on these other sports, and the five-year plan presented here addresses ways to increase community awareness of and support for these sports. The primary approach is a "grass roots" effort in which players and coaches visit local public and private schools, inviting students to attend their games. Tickets are required but will be freely given for two years, becoming more scarce in subsequent years so that competitions will be generating gate receipts and the teams will be contributing to their own financial support. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Increased Ticket Pricing of Basketball
(5 Pages, 54.75 USD)
|
|
This 5 page report discusses the fact that professional basketball ticket prices have skyrocketed in the past few years. The average fan cannot afford a ticket, much less a ticket for a good seat. One has to wonder what sort of impact the lack of affordability and the elitism that has evolved around basketball will ultimately have in terms of game attendance, present behavior of spectators, and the future behavior of fans. A number of factors have combined to cause such a situation and team owners and management must develop a number of creative ways of responding to the situation if they are to continue to maintain a full house of fans on game nights. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Natural Turf Versus Artificial Turf Sports Fields
(16 Pages, 175.2 USD)
|
|
This 16 page report discusses the benefits and controversies that exist in the sports world regarding artificial and natural turf playing fields. In the big money realm of professional sports, playing surfaces are generally chosen and maintained on the basis of what is the most cost effective and least problematic. Concerns regarding aesthetics, the “feel” of the surface, and personal preference of the players have been thought of as secondary, even tertiary, concerns. However, a huge number of injuries have been directly blamed on artificial turf and have resulted in key players being kept out of a game or even put on the injured list for an entire season. This report examines a number of those concerns and looks at potential alternatives. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

The Economics of Baseball in the 21st Century
(7 Pages, 76.65 USD)
|
|
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.
