As every fan knows, baseball is much more than a game.

Topics will include how to build a team, a fan base and a new ballpark; scouting vs. analytics; the business of baseball; the challenges of the college game; representing players and negotiating with teams; and the real-life MLB experiences of a star player, veteran umpire, legendary scout, beat writer and columnist. Grade Options and Requirements No Grade Requested (NGR) Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) Students must attend at least 7 of the 9 classes to receive credit.

  • The Over-Production of US Sports and the New International
    2003 “The Over-Production of US Sports and the New International Division of Cultural Labor.” (with David Rowe, Jim McKay, and Geoffrey Lawrence) International Review for the Sociology of Sport 38, no. 4: 427-40. 02_IRS articles 38/4 10/24/03 9:32 AM Page 428 428 INTERNATIONAL REVIEW FOR THE SOCIOLOGY OF SPORT 38(4) ing link derived from cold-war surrogacy and postcolonial hangovers. The anec- dote’s lesson is clear: that the globalization of sport is equally about the appeal of sport and its imbrication with world capitalism. The Taliban’s decision to affiliate with the ICC illustrates the complex and contradictory links among sport, politics, and global capitalism in a country that is on the economic and political periphery. We can discern similar intricacies and tensions at one of the epicenters of global capitalism, the USA. It is highly para- doxical that while US sport has been used as a quintessential signifier of laissez- faire values, both inside and outside the country, it is heavily protected, operating in an economically uncompetitive, welfarist environment. We investigate this important but understudied contradiction of protectionism via the global traffic in both workers and audiences associated with US professional sport. This echoes the approach we have recently used to analyze the uneven but interconnected processes that characterize the present moment in sport, via a New International Division of Cultural Labor (NICL) that governs globalization, television, and commodification (Miller et al., 2001a). The most significant development since the publication of that work has been the bust following the boom in TV sports, notably in the US, Germany, and Britain.
