    Media Contact: Kelvin Ang [email protected], 315-450-1420 The 2011 Racial and Gender Report Card: Major League Baseball By Richard Lapchick with Christina Cloud, Aaron Gearlds, Tavia Record, Elizabeth Schulz, Jake Spiak and Matthew Vinson published April 21, 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Orlando, FL – April 21, 2011…Major League Baseball continues to demonstrate an outstanding record on the issue of racial and gender hiring practices. However, after steady improvement in both areas for several years, this year there were decreases in the percentages of people of color and women in several categories. Overall, baseball received an A for race and a B- for gender in the 2011 Report Card. The Racial and Gender Report Card annually asks, “Are we playing fair when it comes to sports? Does everyone, regardless of race or gender, have a chance at bat or to operate a team?” Baseball’s grade for race dipped slightly from 92.5 to 91.6, while its grade for gender dropped from 82 to 79.3. Baseball’s overall score for the 2011 Report Card is 85.5, which is lower than the 2010 score of 87.3 that was MLB’s best-ever combined score. MLB’s combined grade for 2011 is a B+. Richard Lapchick, principal author of the study and director of The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) at the University of Central Florida, said, “Bud Selig has helped make MLB’s central and team front offices look more like America. “Jackie Robinson’s dream was to see more African-Americans playing, coaching and in the front office.

  • The Impact of the Flat World on Player Transfers in Major League Baseball
    ROSNERFINAL_FOUR 1/22/2010 5:12:21 PM THE IMPACT OF THE FLAT WORLD ON PLAYER TRANSFERS IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Scott R. Rosner* William T. Conroy** I. INTRODUCTION Globalization has indeed made the world “flat,” and the sports industry is no exception. Throughout the last two decades, American professional sports leagues have attempted with varying degrees of success to expand worldwide and create global product markets. The impact of this internationalization is apparent—from the success of the World Baseball Classic in 2006 and 2009 to the exploding popularity that has led the National Basketball Association (“NBA”) to announce the creation of NBA China, a Chinese subsidiary league pairing Disney with other local partners.1 Perhaps the most significant of these effects is that the current player pool for most of the top American professional sports leagues is no longer purely domestic. This sea change is well underway, with international players comprising significant portions of current professional sports rosters across the sporting spectrum.2 Partly as a result of domestic * Lecturer, Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

  • A's News Clips, Sunday, August 30, 2009 Sweeney Starting to Show
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, August 30, 2009 Sweeney starting to show some power at the plate By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Hairston's anticipation tags A's with a victory ANAHEIM — Scott Hairston hasn't been in the American League very long, but he knows the Los Angeles Angels like to wreak havoc on the bases. So Hairston, the A's left fielder, was expecting Chone Figgins to tag up in the bottom of the ninth Saturday and Oakland leading 4-3. Hairston caught Bobby Abreu's fly ball near the foul line and threw a one-hopper to second to nail Figgins to end the game. "I was anticipating he was going to go," Hairston said. "I think you have to on that, because if you hesitate he's going to be safe." Since Hairston came over from San Diego in a July 5 trade, he's had a couple of rough moments in the outfield but also some very nice plays. He's also earned praise from manager Bob Geren for playing through a quadriceps injury. It's feeling better, but obviously playing every day, nothing drastic is going to happen (as far as improvement)," Hairston said. "I'm expecting it's going to hurt every day. We'll see how it is in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll get back to stealing bases and being myself." ≈ Ryan Sweeney drove an Ervin Santana fastball deep out of the park Thursday, showing a glimpse of his power. Ask Sweeney, and he'll say it's not so much his mechanics but his mental approach that's the key to unlocking that power more consistently.
