Globalization; Historical Background; National Standards Project in Economics; *Professional Sports; *Sport Management ABSTRACT This teacher's guide presents instructional materials which examine issues in professional sports for students in high school economics and social studies classes. The issues include how the pro sports market evolved; how leagues gained market power; why athletes earn as much as they do; what are the sources of pro sports revenues; why tickets cost so much; why there is such a high level of economic conflict in modern pro sports; and the globalization of pro sports. The teacher's guide, illustrated with vintage photographs, is divided into nine innings (as in baseball) or lessons. It uses baseball as a case study in professional sports to provide historical background information about the evolution of professional sports teams. The guide states that the instructional materials support 14 of the 20 voluntary national content standards for economics. A standards grid follows the lessons. "The Sports Page" section discusses baseball, basketball, football, and hockey.

  • Raging Bullchips
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 10 (1981) RAGING BULLCHIPS By M. Wilson Things were different in the Roaring Twenties. Boxers fought at least once a month. Baseball really was the national pastime. Athletes did their talking in newspapers instead of into TV cameras. And sports fans wore their naivete as proudly as they would any uniform. Just as that chaotic decade was coming to a close, a series of bizarre price fights took place in and around Chicago. These fights cast a dark shadow over the National Pastime and nearly destroyed what little dignity existed in the worlds of professional boxing and football. In 1929, a gangly gust of Texas-bred wind named Arthur Shires was attracting attention in his first full year as first baseman for the Chicago White Sox. He was hitting .312 and was considered a strong defensive player. He also was earning quite a reputation as a fighter. Early in the season, he was content to punch out opposing players or an occasional spectator. But, when that didn't seem to quench his aggressions, our slugger turned on his own dugout. More specifically, on Sox manager Lena Blackburne. Shires won the first bout with a decisive TKO over his 42 year-old mentor. Then, unafraid of threats of being traded, he forced a rematch late in the year. Several club officials tried to stop this second melee, but it was the club's traveling secretary, Lou Barbour, who got caught right smack in the middle. Once he discovered he couldn't stop the fight, he decided to unleash a few of his own frustrations by biting a nearby -- and unsuspecting -- thumb.
