In the Best Interests of Baseball? The Revolutionary Reign of Bud Selig Summary
| A penetrating look at the governance of baseball under Bud Selig As the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, Bud Selig faced tremendous opposition and conflict of interest when he became acting commissioner of baseball. Could a team owner serve the teams, the owners, the fans, and the sport with complete fairness and objectivity? A longtime critic and observer of Selig, Andrew Zimbalist takes a balanced, insightful look at the governance of baseball before and during Selig's tumultuous reign, revealing how Selig redefined the role of commissioner and shepherded the transformation of the baseball industry into a business. He observes how Selig brought the owners together as partners, analyzes the fairness and failings of revenue sharing, examines whether the best interests of the sport have truly been served, and points the way to confronting the challenges ahead. Andrew Zimbalist (Northampton, MA) is the Robert A. Woods Professor of Economics at Smith College. An award-winning writer, media commentator, and consultant in the sports industry, Zimbalist has worked with players unions, cities, owners, and leagues. |
