This book analyzes and highlights the development and success of
major league baseball teams in the National League and the American
League, focusing on each team's performance in seasons and
postseasons and to what extent each succeeded as a business
enterprise despite competition for market share from other types of
entertainment. The book discusses historical and financial
information about the 30 major league franchises. Each chapter
contains two core themes-Team Performances and Franchise Business.
The former highlights which and how teams won division and league
championships and World Series while the latter lists and compares
financial data including their revenue, gate receipts, and
operating income and describes interesting business topics. Each
chapter also provides an overview of when each franchise organized
and why it joined MLB, a brief profile of its current majority
owner or ownership group, records of teams' special coaches and
players, attendances at home games, and how their ballparks rank as
a venue for fans. Baseball Business explains why particular teams
located in large, midsized, or small markets win more games and
titles than others and when and how frequently that occurs.
Furthermore, it provides ways to compare franchises' financial
success individually, by division, and by league. By linking and
comparing the historical performances of MLB teams to financial
information about them as business organizations, this book offers
a unique contribution to the literature on the sports industry.
