  • 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.

  • Name of the Game: Do Statistics Confirm the Labels of Professional Baseball Eras?
    NAME OF THE GAME: DO STATISTICS CONFIRM THE LABELS OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL ERAS? by Mitchell T. Woltring A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Leisure and Sport Management Middle Tennessee State University May 2013 Thesis Committee: Dr. Colby Jubenville Dr. Steven Estes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not be where I am if not for support I have received from many important people. 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. Last, but certainly not least, thank you to all my family and friends, which are far too many to name. You have all helped shape me into the person I am and have played an integral role in my life. ii ABSTRACT A game defined and measured by hitting and pitching performances, baseball exists as the most statistical of all sports (Albert, 2003, p.

  • Team Payroll Versus Performance in Professional Sports: Is Increased Spending Associated with Greater Success?
    Team Payroll Versus Performance in Professional Sports: Is Increased Spending Associated with Greater Success? Grant Shorin Professor Peter S. Arcidiacono, Faculty Advisor Professor Kent P. Kimbrough, Seminar Advisor Duke University Durham, North Carolina 2017 Grant graduated with High Distinction in Economics and a minor in Statistical Science in May 2017. Following graduation, he will be working in San Francisco as an Analyst at Altman Vilandrie & Company, a strategy consulting group that focuses on the telecom, media, and technology sectors. He can be contacted at [email protected]. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Peter Arcidiacono, for his valuable guidance. I would also like to acknowledge my honors seminar instructor, Kent Kimbrough, for his continued support and feedback. Lastly, I would like to recognize my honors seminar classmates for their helpful comments throughout the year. 2 Abstract Professional sports are a billion-dollar industry, with player salaries accounting for the largest expenditure. 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.
