  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

After posting a 79-83 record with the majors’ highest payroll, the Baltimore Orioles were hit with a $3,138,621 luxury tax bill for the 1998 season. Other taxpayers included the Red Sox ($2,184,734), Yankees ($684,390), Braves ($495,625) and Dodgers ($49,593). The tax threshold, originally expected to reach $55 million in 1998, actually leaped to $70,501,185, including $5,576,415 per team in benefits. This figure represents the midpoint between the fifth- and sixth-highest payrolls. The luxury tax rate falls from 35% to 34% in 1999, then disappears entirely in 2000. Owners go 9-2 in arbitration. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera of the Yankees were the only players to win their arbitration hearings, although 51 of the 62 cases settled before a ruling.

  • The Shared History of Baseball and Alcohol
    Masculinity, Moguls, and Malt: The Shared History of Baseball and Alcohol Kevin Grace* In 1882, as Organized Baseball consciously worked to place itself in the American cultural landscape as a nationalistic entity, an upstart league was formed to challenge the primacy of baseball’s ruling National League. The new organization was variously called the “Beer and Whiskey League” or the “Beer Ball League.” Officially, it was the “American Association,” and it was formed as a result of the National League’s opposition to alcohol sales in the ballparks, along with its opposition to the playing of games on Sunday.1 The new league’s founders included brewers and distillers in St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Louisville, and Pittsburgh, not co- incidentally cities which had large German-American and Eastern European populations, urban groups that enjoyed the social place of beer and Sunday recreation in their lives.2 After only a decade, the Beer Ball League was gone, its owners hav- ing stood up to the National League’s alcohol ban, and negotiating to bring an end to a competition war by returning some of the renegade American Association franchises to the league. However, the Beer Ball League’s in- sistence on its right to sell beer and liquor proved to be a benchmark in what has been a long relationship between baseball and alcohol. From its very beginnings as a recreational outgrowth of the saloon subculture, baseball has always been closely tied to beer and spirits. With the rise and fall of the American Association in the 19th century, the selling and enjoying of beer became a solid fixture in the national pastime, a symbol of the game itself, and a controversial image with which the owners of franchises, the fans, and temperance and prohibition activists have struggled for over a century.
