ARTICLES It’s Not About the Money: THE ROLE OF PREFERENCES, COGNITIVE BIASES, AND HEURISTICS AMONG PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Michael A. McCann† I. INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • Babe Ruth: the Big Bam with Leigh Montville at the National Constitution Center
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Denise Venuti Free Ashley Berke Director of Public Relations Public Relations Coordinator 215.409.6636 215.409.6693 [email protected] [email protected] BABE RUTH: THE BIG BAM WITH LEIGH MONTVILLE AT THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER PHILADELPHIA, PA (July 7, 2006) – He has been called everything from the Sultan of Swat to the Wizard of Whack, the Caliph of Clout to the Great Bambino, and most notably, the Big Bam. We know Babe Ruth’s various nicknames, but not much about the story behind the man. The National Constitution Center presents Babe Ruth: The Big Bam with Leigh Montville on Thursday, July 27, 2006 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free, but advance reservations are required and can be made by calling 215.409.6700. This program is held in conjunction with the Center’s summer exhibit, Sports: Breaking Records, Breaking Barriers. Leigh Montville, award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller Ted Williams, tells the true story of Babe Ruth in his new book, The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth was baseball’s original superstar, and for eighty-five years he remained the leader. He was named Athlete of the Century several times, but beyond his baseball statistics, little is known about this legendary player. His childhood, private life, and inner thoughts are now uncovered in The Big Bam, as Montville offers an exceptionally intimate look at the large, loud, enigmatic man who still reigns as baseball’s leading titan. -MORE- ADD ONE/THE BIG BAM Montville used newly discovered documents and interviews, including personal scrapbook pages, to chronicle Ruth’s life from poor city kid in Baltimore to a legendary professional baseball player.
