The biggest hit was in 2013, when the team lost $125,000. The City of Auburn, which owns the team, no longer has the money to support the franchise, so in order to keep baseball in Auburn, the team must become self-sufficient.

  • The Boston Red Sox London Series Clips * the Boston Globe
    The Boston Red Sox London Series Clips * The Boston Globe Sean McDonough tops cast of rotating Red Sox announcers Chad Finn The Red Sox have hit the midpoint of their season — 81 games down, 81 to go. That also means we’ve reached the time of year when many baseball writers knock out the requisite but always readable midseason grades column. That old staple is especially tempting to write now with the Sox on a brief hiatus before commencing their season in London Saturday. Mine would be simple for these talented but underachieving 88-win-pace Red Sox. Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers each get an A. Just about everyone else gets some variation of a C or worse. My classroom, my rules, pal. From a media standpoint, there are a few more Red Sox-relevant grades to be issued — specifically in relation to Entercom and WEEI’s decision to have a rotating cast of announcers in the broadcast booth alongside crafty veteran Joe Castiglione. In general, the rotating cast — which by my accounting has included eight broadcasters — has worked quite well, though it’s a lot to ask of Castiglione and shouldn’t be considered a long-term solution. Every voice, save for perhaps the most high-profile one, has been up to the task, and there has been a noticeably more conversational tone to the broadcasts, with studio/update hosts Will Flemming and Ken Laird more engaged in the in-game banter than in the past. And one familiar voice in particular has made the broadcast as entertaining as it has been since .

Major League Baseball annually asks teams not to make major announcements during the playoffs and World Series – although travel days are open to certain announcements. Which means the Padres will soon be making known plans for immediate and longer-term changes and improvements to Petco Park, the naming of a new bullpen coach and possibly an announcement on golfer Phil Mickelson’s stake in Padres ownership. But don’t expect the Padres to be making major changes this winter to their roster. “I don’t think we’ll be as active as we were last off-season,” general manager Josh Byrnes said earlier this week. “But you never know.” Byrnes will listen to inquiries, although he says he is hesitant to make the kind of massive changes he negotiated last winter. “We’re taking a little bit of a longer view,” he said. “We like what we saw in the second half of the season.” In addition to interviewing candidate for the vacant bullpen coaching position, Byrnes and his staff are reviewing the 40 possible free agent starting pitchers for two who could be suitable for the Padres -- in other words, fitting into the club's payroll parameters.

    Baseball Mascots and the Law Christian H. Brill and Howard W. Brill I. INTRODUCTION During the summer of 2015, baseball fans across Kansas intently followed the Kansas City Royals’ march toward its first World Series title in a generation.1 Far fewer were watching the simultaneous conclusion of the long-running legal controversy between a Royals fan, the team, and Sluggerrr, the “loveable lion”2 who has been the official mascot of the Royals since 1996. This litigation involved a novel legal issue for the sport of baseball: When a fan assumes the risk that he may be injured by a foul ball, does he also assume the risk of injury from other flying objects—such as a hot dog thrown by a mascot’s paw?3 Photo Credit: http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Minnesota+Twins+v+Kansas+City+Royals+cSLc_yMjOZgl.jpg This paper was originally presented at the Twenty-Seventh Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture (2015).

  • Denver Broncos Making Bay Area a Wow Town by Mark Kiszla Denver Post February 6, 2016
    Denver Broncos making Bay Area a wow town By Mark Kiszla Denver Post February 6, 2016 Inferiority complex? Kiz, it has been almost two weeks of unrepentant aggravation around here, as every talking sports head and yapping news hound from Denver has bombarded the airwaves with glowing, positive prognostications belied by their orange-and-blue tinged glasses. All the inferiority- complexed, cow-towned, apoplectic Donkey fans have gone berserk in the streets of San Francisco, assaulting the average, reasonable working man with incessant yammering in nauseating detail about delusions of a Broncos victory. There is not a snowball's chance. Panthers 27, Broncos 13. Or worse. Davis, grumpy 49ers fan Kiz: Levi's Stadium is going to be a cow town. If the Broncomania I've witnessed in San Francisco is any indication, Denver will have more fans on its side at the Super Bowl. Of course, Carolina has linebacker Luke Kuechly on its side. Football's perils. Thanks for your column advising Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning to retire after the Super Bowl. I played small-college football but quit after one year and one serious concussion. But two friends, undersized linemen who loved to hit, kept playing and suffered many concussions. Both died in their 60s after many years living with serious brain damage (dementia in one, Parkinson's disease in the other). The NFL is a small part of the problem. Thousands of college and high school players will have reduced life expectancies because of football. Doug, Fort Collins Kiz: From Archie Manning to Brandon Stokley, I'm repeatedly told by former NFL players the game's rewards far exceed its risks.
