    Monopoly and Monopsony Power in a Market for Mud

    Monopoly and Monopsony Power in a Market for Mud This article describes an unusual market I use in my intermediate microeconomics courses to illustrate characteristics of monopoly and monopsony power. For over sixty years the Lena Blackburne Rubbing Mud (LBRM) company has been the sole supplier of mud taken from a Delaware River tributary that is applied to all baseballs used by Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. The unique quality of the mud removes the shine and slickness of new baseballs. Students must explain why LBRM is or is not a monopoly and recognize the source of MLB’s monopsony power. Edward Scahill† †University of Scranton © 2020 Journal of Economics Teaching. All rights reserved. Scahill / Journal of Economics Teaching (2020) 1. Introduction A monopoly is an enterprise that is the only seller of a good or service… Before and during the period of the classical economics (roughly 1776–1850), most people believed that… [the] only monopolies that could persist… were those that got the government to exclude rivals… Even today, most important enduring monopolies or near monopolies in the United States rest on government policies…Monopolies that exist independent of government support are likely to be due to smallness of markets (the only druggist in town) or to rest on temporary leadership in innovation…(Stigler) Although most students in my intermediate economics courses understand the graphical analysis of monopoly and the impact of monopoly power on economic welfare, it is a challenge to find actual examples of monopoly power that engage their interest.1 Although dominant firms in many markets have some degree of monopoly power, the number of “pure” monopolies – sole providers of a good or service that have no close substitutes - are rare.

A new park, Muehlebach Field, dedicated to the great American sport, Baseball, will open Tuesday, July third, Brooklyn Avenue at 22nd. This event will be of interest to all who enjoy clean, healthful, outdoor recreation. The day has gone by when business men look upon a holiday as a lost opportunity. It is now considered an INVESTMENT, as employer and employe alike return, not only with renewed ambition, but with new thoughts and new ideas for which Old Man Success is always on the lookout. For this reason, I recommend that every employer forget the ever present serious side of life and attend the opening baseball game at Muehlebach Field. I also recommend that every employer as far as possible give the same privilege to his employes. To set the example for this recommendation, and to demonstrate its practicality, I declare Tuesday afternoon, July third, a half holiday for all City Hall Employes, beginning at Twelve o’clock (noon).

  • Lena Blackburne's Baseball Rubbing Mud

    Lena Blackburne's Baseball Rubbing Mud

    Lena Blackburne's Baseball Rubbing Mud Lena Blackburne's Baseball Rubbing Mud: balm to ball players everywhere. Back in 1938, a Philadelphia Athletics coach named Lena Blackburne began mixing various batches of mud and water to create a substance that would dull the surface of glossy new baseballs, making them easier to grip. And, of course, it had to work without breaking the rules of baseball. Umpires had previously tried shoe polish, tobacco juice and the dirt beneath their feet to fix the balls, but while these substances did, indeed, dull the balls' surfaces, they also damaged the baseballs in the process. Blackburne's eventual concoction -- crafted from rich mud found in southern New Jersey near the Delaware River (at his favorite fishing hole, to be exact) -- didn't wreck the balls. The Athletics' chief umpire gave it a thumbs-up, and soon other American League teams began clamoring for some. National League teams followed suit, and soon Lena Blackburne's Rubbing Mud was famous Since Blackburne had no kids to inherit his business, he passed it on to a childhood friend, whose grandson, Jim Bintliff, now runs the company. Bintliff says every Major League Baseball team uses the product today, and he makes five or six trips to the mud hole annually to fulfill demand. But he won't say exactly where the revered mud hole is. "The mud is on public land, but we've always kept the location a secret to keep people from trampling it" Joy in Mudville MLB teams can't get enough of Lena Blackburne's secret substance.

  • Eight Decades Later, Robertson Has Perfect Partner in White Sox History

    Eight Decades Later, Robertson Has Perfect Partner in White Sox History

    Eight decades later, Robertson has perfect partner in White Sox history By Paul Ladewski Posted on Monday, July 27th For 87 years, Charlie Robertson had a rather lonely existence in local baseball annals. In 1922, he had become the first and last White Sox pitcher to author a perfect game, a feat achieved so long ago that his name had withered into relative obscurity since then. Only after Mark Buehrle pitched a similar gem last week did Robertson finally have a partner and he became relevant again. So who was this person forever linked with Buehrle in White Sox history? And what is his story? Charles Culbertson Robertson was born on Jan. 31, 1896, in Dexter, Tex., a speck on the map about 100 miles north of Dallas. In 1919, after three years at Austin College in nearby Sherman, Tex. he signed with the White Sox at 23 years of age. The 6-foot, 175-pound right-hander made his major league debut that season, and he spent the next two campaigns in the minor leagues. Prior to the 1922 campaign, White Sox pitcher Dickey Kerr walked out on the team in a salary dispute. One year after Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams were suspended for their parts in the Black Sox scandal, the absence of Kerr left the staff with one proven starter. When his team got off to a 4-6 start, Manager Kid Gleason inserted Robertson into the rotation even though he had only 10 innings of major league experience. It was move made out of desperation more than anything else.

Hank Greenberg was the originator passing the 50,000 of the idea and our crack staff has tracked down the information. In View from mark in total May 1954, Greenberg, then GM of the Indians, offered a plan for games entered, games that count in the standings to be played between all NL and the Vault AL clubs. gathering David Smith, thousands more President Greenberg’s plan included four games between each AL and NL game accounts club, with two at home and two away. The intraleague contests from many sources would be cut from eleven to nine (home and away) to and increasing our visibility with the general accommodate these new games. However, that arrangement public as well as many Major League teams. would have to be modified each year since the eight game inter- league sets would add 32 games while the intraleague reductions However, this is also a good opportunity to would only account for 28 games.
