By David Grieder STAFF WRITER [email protected] CLOVIS — A cold-case murder trial is set to begin Nov. 27. William Hadix is accused in the September 2003 shooting death and robbery of Jessie Clyde “J.C.” Tucker in Clovis. In a docket call Monday morn- ing, Judge Fred Van Soelen con- firmed the dates of the five-day trial. It’s scheduled to begin with jury selection Nov. 27 and last through Dec. 1.

  • How Major League Baseball Clubs Have Commercialized Their Investment in Japanese Top Stars
    How Major League Baseball Clubs Have Commercialized Their Investment in Japanese Top Stars Isao Okada Stephen A. Greyser Working Paper 14-029 September 18, 2013 Copyright © 2013 by Isao Okada and Stephen A. Greyser Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. How Major League Baseball Clubs Have Commercialized Their Investment in Japanese Top Stars Isao Okada and Stephen A. Greyser September 18, 2013 1 How Major League Baseball Clubs Have Commercialized Their Investment in Japanese Top Stars Abstract When a Major League Baseball club signs a Japanese star player, it obviously tries to commercialize its investment in the player. The initial focus is on home attendance (ticket sales) and television audiences, plus merchandise sales. These elements are similar to those considered for any high-performing players. However, for Japanese stars, there is also the potential to attract significant fandom from the local Japanese community. This represents an opportunity for truly incremental local revenue for the team. In addition, teams try to attract revenue from Japan—such as from corporate sponsors, advertising signage at the home field, and visiting Japanese fans traveling to the U.S. to see these stars perform. In addition to treating team efforts at growing local Japanese community support, this paper examines seven factors for success in attracting revenues from Japanese companies and fans: pitcher or position player, player’s popularity, non-stop flights from Japan, distance from Japan, non-sport tourist attractions in a city, size of Japanese community in the city and player’s and team’s performance.
