  • Baseball's Transition to Professionalism
    Baseball's Transition to Professionalism Aaron Feldman In baseball recently, much has been said about the problems with baseball as a business. Owners and players are clashing publicly on every imaginable issue while fans watch hopelessly. Paul White of Baseball Weekly observed, “Baseball… got beat up. Call it a sport, call it a business, call it an industry. Call it anything that can suffer a black eye,” in his analysis of the conflicts that have marked this off-season. i The fights might seem new to the casual observer, but they are not. To search for the origin of this conflict one must look back more than a hundred years, to the founding of the National Association of Professional Baseball Players in 1871. Indeed, the most permanent damage to professional baseball was during the period from 1870- 1885 when baseball evolved from an amateur game into a professional one. Though some of the blame belongs to the players of this era, the majority of the fault can be attributed to the owners. Owners, lacking no model to guide them by, made the mistake of modeling early franchises after successful industry. Baseball’s early magnates mishandled the sport’s transition from amateur to professional, causing problems with labor relations, gambling, and financial solvency. Before one can look at the problems faced by baseball in the period from 1870-1885, it is necessary to examine some of the trends that were involved in changing baseball’s shape dramatically. First of all was baseball’s unprecedented rise in popularity. One newspaper of the time called it, “that baseball frenzy” as fan enthusiasm multiplied.ii John Montgomery Ward wrote that, “Like everything else American it came with a rush.
