Major League Baseball has enjoyed a long period of progress and
success. For over 118 years, events, institutions, people, and
regulations, transformed it both in the short and long run. The
Making of Modern Baseball examines the development of Major League
Baseball, including the recruitment, entry, and performance of
ballplayers from foreign countries; the competitive balance or
degree of parity that exists among teams within and between the
American and National League; expansion of new franchises located
in the United States and Canada; and the economic realities of the
leagues given the demographics, distribution, and wealth of their
franchises' markets. Additionally, this book provides answers to
such questions as: What types of simple and complex methods exist
to measure and analyze performances of players and their teams?
What has been the impact of free agency on ballplayers' salaries?
How different are the gate receipts, total revenues, and valuations
of large, midsized, and small market teams? The Making of Modern
Baseball takes the reader deep into Major League Baseball, making
it a must-have for every fan and follower of the sport.
