How did the professional baseball, basketball, football, and
hockey leagues become the most successful sports organizations in
the United States? Jozsa investigates the major leagues' histories
with unparalleled depth and rigorous economic analysis. He marshals
relevant data, facts, statistics that measure the performance of
professional sports teams and players, the strategies of franchise
owners, and the loyalties of fans. Delineating the development,
maturation, and revitalization of the leagues throughout the 20th
century, he highlights significant events and reforms of the era
and discusses the future of sports leagues in the marketplace.
Sports fanatics, casual fans, professional coaches and players,
journalists, economists, administrators, and owners will discover a
goldmine of information in this unique volume. Readers will learn
about key owners, investors, coaches, managers, and players of
teams that won divisions, conference titles, and league
championships from the 1950s through the 1990s. The book includes
information on attendance, operating incomes, payrolls, win-loss
percentages, and the estimated market value of individual teams.
Specific franchise owners are noted for their wealth and success
factors. The author also predicts that league commissioners,
franchise owners, local business and community leaders, and
government officials will be forced to bargain in good faith and
compromise on the question of whether to use taxpayer money to
invest in sports facilities.
