    I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.

  • Outside the Lines
    Outside the Lines Vol. I, No. 2 SABR Business of Baseball Committee Newsletter Summer 1995 Copyright © 1995, Society for American Baseball Research Editor: Doug Pappas, 100 E. Hartsdale Ave., #6EE, Hartsdale, NY 10530-3244, 914-472-7954. E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]. Convention Report The Business of Baseball Committee held its first annual meeting at 8:30 AM on Friday, June 16th, the first full day of SABR’s convention in Pittsburgh. Despite the early hour, several dozen attendees contributed an hour of interesting discussion, including John Holway’s insistence that broadcasters should have a First Amendment right of access to broadcast baseball games. Sherri Nichols won the Most Dedicated Member award for attending not just the Business of Baseball meeting, but the 7:30 AM Statistical Analysis meeting as well, after flying in from California the day before with a five-month-old baby. More than 20 people joined the Committee during the convention -- most notably Larry Hadley, an economics professor at the University of Dayton who told me about a session on baseball economics he’d organized for the Western Economic Association meeting in San Diego in July. Letters to the participants, who also included Donald Coffin and Leon Battista, brought copies of several presentations (discussed below) and also attracted Daniel Marburger and Timothy Hylan into SABR and the Committee. I believe the Committee has much to offer academic researchers, including both access to scarce data and an interested, informed audience for their work -- I hope they’re the first of many to come.
