Economics of Baseball, Contraction, and the Arizona Fall League

by Geoff Young on Nov 08, 2001

  • Fascinating stuff over at Forbes.com on the economics of baseball.
  • Everybody has their pet reasons for hating Bud Selig’s asinine plans to contract MLB. Here’s what ESPN.com’s Jim Caple has to say.
  • Hank Blalock is destroying the AFL to the tune of .337/.431/.750. Two sets of numbers really stand out for me: 15 walks against 14 strikeouts over 92 at-bats; and 18 of 31 hits for extra bases (including 9 homers). Teammate and fellow third baseman Drew Henson is hitting .316/.422/.582, not too shabby.
  • The San Diego Padres Unofficial Home Page is no longer actively maintained but it contains some good historical info.
