  • Baseball Fans Split on Proposed Changes to the Game; Atlanta Braves Still America's Favorite Team
    The Harris Poll r THE HARRIS POLL 1993 #37 For release: Monday, July 26, 1993 BASEBALL FANS SPLIT ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE GAME; ATLANTA BRAVES STILL AMERICA'S FAVORITE TEAM by Humphrey Taylor As major league baseball plans to reconfigure itself for the future, fans are split on the major proposed changes, according to the latest nationwide Harris Poll of 1,253 adults, 501 of whom are baseball fans, surveyed between June 24 and 29. Two-thirds of baseball fans (65 percent) support a limited schedule of games between American and National League teams during the regular season, but by a 54-44 percent margin, fans oppose increasing the number of teams advancing to post-season play from four to eight. Inter-league play, which receives the support of a 65-32 percent majority overall, gets the most support in the West, among those under 25 and Hispanics. Easterners, who appear to be baseball's most conservative fans, are the least supportive of inter-league play and the most opposed to expanding the playoffs. Narrow majorities of Southerners, L Westerners and African-Americans, on the other hand, support having more teams in the playoffs. Thirty-eight percent of the adults surveyed report following major league baseball. Most of these fans are serious students of the game, with just over half of fans (52 percent) reporting that they watch more than 20 baseball games a year on television or in person. While 10 percent of them feel there is too much baseball on television and 20 percent too little, fully 69 percent say the right amount of games are televised.

First and foremost, I would like thank my wife, Sarah Woltring, for believing in me and supporting me in an incalculable manner. I would like to thank my parents, Tom and Julie Woltring, for always supporting and encouraging me to make myself a better person. I would be remiss to not personally thank Dr. Colby Jubenville and the entire Department at Middle Tennessee State University. Without Dr. Jubenville convincing me that MTSU was the place where I needed to come in order to thrive, I would not be in the position I am now. Furthermore, thank you to Dr. Elroy Sullivan for helping me run and understand the statistical analyses. Without your help I would not have been able to undertake the study at hand.

Comparing results between the four major North American leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL, and NFL) and examining data from 1995 through 2015, this paper seeks to answer the following question: do teams that have higher payrolls achieve greater success, as measured by their regular season, postseason, and financial performance? Multiple data visualizations highlight unique relationships across the three dimensions and between each sport, while subsequent empirical analysis supports these findings. After standardizing payroll values and using a fixed effects model to control for team-specific factors, this paper finds that higher payroll spending is associated with an increase in regular season winning percentage in all sports (but is less meaningful in the NFL), a substantial rise in the likelihood of winning the championship in the NBA and NHL, and a lower operating income in all sports.

  • The Interaction Between Baseball Attendance and Winning Percentage: a VAR Analysis
    The Interaction between Baseball Attendance and Winning Percentage: A VAR Analysis Michael C. Davis Department of Economics University of Missouri-Rolla 101 Harris Hall 1870 Miner Circle Rolla, MO 65409-1250 [email protected] 573-341-6959 The author would like to thank Skip Sauer, Brad Humphreys and Kim Henthorn for their helpful comments. 1 The Interaction between Baseball Attendance and Winning Percentage: A VAR Analysis 2 ABSTRACT This study examines the importance of team success for attendance for major league baseball teams. Winning and attendance go together for most baseball teams, but the direction of causation is not obvious. Winning could lead to greater attendance as fans want to see a winner, while an increase in attendance could lead to greater winning as teams’ have greater resources to spend on salaries. This study finds that the direction of causation runs from team success to greater attendance, and that a sudden increase in fans does not lead to additional winning in the future. A secondary result suggests that exogenous shocks to attendance have replicating effects on attendance as well. Key Words: baseball, attendance, vector autoregression 3 It is only natural that sports fans would want to support a strong performance on the field and attend more games of a more successful team. The quality of play will be higher for a good team, the home team will be more likely to win and the atmosphere will be more enjoyable since other fans will be more excited by a good team. A successful season will also lead to increases in attendance during the following years as the momentum of the previous success draws in more fans through a bandwagon effect.
