Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. Pedro Martinez. Sammy Sosa. Manny Ramirez. By 2000, Dominican baseball players were in every Major League clubhouse, and regularly winning every baseball award. In 2002, Omar Minaya became the first Dominican general manager of a Major League team. But how did this codependent relationship between MLB and Dominican talent arise and thrive? In his incisive and engaging book, Dominican Baseball, Alan Klein examines the history of MLB s presence and influence in the Dominican Republic, the development of the booming industry and academies, and the dependence on Dominican player developers, known as buscones. He also addresses issues of identity fraud and the use of performance-enhancing drugs as hopefuls seek to play professionally. Dominican Baseball charts the trajectory of the economic flows of this transnational exchange, and the pride Dominicans feel in their growing influence in the sport. Klein also uncovers the prejudice that prompts MLB to diminish Dominican claims on legitimacy. This sharp, smartly argued book deftly chronicles the uneasy and often contested relations of the contemporary Dominican game and industry.

ARTICLES It’s Not About the Money: THE ROLE OF PREFERENCES, COGNITIVE BIASES, AND HEURISTICS AMONG PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Michael A. McCann† I. INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

He concluded that, “What is actu- ally being invaded here is America and its hold on its theoretical na- tional pastime. We’re not sure exactly when this happened—possi- bly while you were busy watching a Yankees-Red Sox game—but this isn’t just America’s sport anymore. It is Latin America’s sport.” While it may not have gone that far yet, the presence of Latino players in baseball, especially in Major League Baseball, has grown enormously. In 1990, the Racial and Gender Report Card recorded that 13 percent of MLB players were Latino. In the 2009 MLB Racial and Gender Report Card, 27 percent of the players were La- tino. The all-time high was 29.4 percent in 2006. Teams from South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean enter the World Baseball Classic with superstar MLB players on their ros- ters. Stark wrote, “The term, ‘baseball game,’ won’t be adequate to describe it. These games will be practically a cultural symposium— where we provide the greatest Latino players of our time a monstrous stage to demonstrate what baseball means to them, versus what baseball now means to us.” American youth have an array of sports to play besides base- ball, including soccer, basketball, football, and hockey.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

    MLB Baseball Weekly --- Friday, April 14th, 2006 BY MATTHEW HATFIELD Welcome to our first edition of MLB Weekly for this season on Good Friday. I’m very excited that spring has come, the temperature is beginning to warm up on a more consistent basis and baseball has begun. A lot has already transpired early on in this 2006 baseball campaign so lets get to it…. Bonds, Barry Bonds: No Laughing or Lying Matter: It never ends with Barry Bonds, does it? Third on the all-time home run list, trailing only Babe Ruth and Henry ‘Hank’ Aaron, Bonds has been the center of attention for the baseball media and sports media. No surprise either. Just look at all the stuff revolving him; he’s a human lightning rod for public interest. The latest thing in the Bonds timeline: a federal grand jury investigating whether or not he committed perjury in 2003 when he testified in 2003 that he never used steroids. The news was first broken on Thursday night by CNN. What’s it all mean? That spotlight is only going to shine brighter, and maybe not all for the better. Barry Lamar Bonds is still stuck on 708 home runs for his career, an illustrious one at that I might add. (AP) Lets take a closer look at all the happenings surrounding the man chasing the Babe as well as Aaron’s mark of 755 career dingers. Before the season, Bonds dressed up as Paula Abdul, garnishing more than a few laughs. However, the steroid allegations and the release of the book ‘Game of Shadows’ was no laughing matter for the Bonds party.

    TITLE VII & MLB MINORITY HIRING: ALTERNATIVES TO LITIGATION Aaron T. Walker* "It has long been my conviction that we can learnfar more about the conditions, and values, of a society by contemplating how it chooses to play, to use its free time, to take its leisure, than by examining how it goes about its work. "' --A. Bartlett Giamatti, Former Major League Baseball Commissioner. I. INTRODUCTION In 1997, Major League Baseball (MLB) celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the modem day color barrier as the first African American player in the league's history. However, as all thirty MLB teams memorialized Robinson throughout their stadiums, critics challenged MLB to be honest about its progress in minority hiring.2 In the fifty years following Robinson's milestone, only four minority managers and one minority general manager (GM) had been hired by MLB teams.3 Since then, there has been minimal progress in minority hiring. At the commencement of the 2007 MLB season, two minority general managers (GMs) and five minority managers lead MLB teams.4 Despite * B.A. 2003 University of Virginia; J.D.

Article Racial Upside: Deconstructing the 'Merits' of Jeremy Lin's NBA Contract Stewart Chang This Article disputes the common misperception that sports are a colorblind meritocracy that should serve as a model for the rest of society. The capacity of players to break into and succeed in professional sports is believed to be based purely on merit, with no consideration of race. Controversies that surfaced around the rise of professional basketball player Jeremy Lin, an Asian American not expected to succeed in a sport dominated by blacks and whites, challenged this popularly-held notion. This Article argues, not in a derisive way, that Lin's ability to secure a lucrative $28.8 million contract, originally with the Houston Rockets and recently traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, was not purely based on merit, but was based on race. Expanding upon Nancy Leong's theory of racial capitalism and Justice O'Connor's business diversity rationale in Grutter v.

    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.
