Could MLB Get a Pass on the Mitchell Report?
Could MLB Get a Pass on the Mitchell Report?

Maury Maury posted 11/29/2007 from www.bizofbaseball.com

Remember, "I'm not here to talk about the past"? Well, it may be that the Mitchell Report gives MLB a pass and looks to make recommendations for the future. Talk of "sham" will certainly ensue, if that is the case.

MLB Investigation Asks if Umpire is Member of KKK
MLB Investigation Asks if Umpire is Member of KKK

Maury Maury posted 1/30/2008 from www.bizofbaseball.com

Ugly, ugly, ugly... MLB investigation of an umpire. Question about whether he is a member of the clan. Umpires' union doesn't issue a denial, but instead asks, "What does the KKK have to do with being a major league umpire?" Like I said... ugly

While player salaries haven’t kept pace with the skyrocketing growth of revenues in MLB, one player off-the-field is certainly cashing in. Bud Selig is doing just fine.

Selling the Drama: The Red Sox, Collusion, and Barry Bonds

Maury Maury posted 3/20/2008 from www.bizofbaseball.com

If you need any further proof that we’re nearly at Opening Day, all you had to do was read the news yesterday surrounding Major League Baseball. If it wasn’t real news (Red Sox threatening to boycott their trip to Japan), it was stretching news into something more than it may be (collusion and Barry Bonds). Let’s start with the Red Sox… The story has a happy ending... sort of.

Sticker Shock: Box Seat at Yankee Stadium Costs 1029% More Than in 1967

Maury Maury posted 3/15/2008 from www.bizofbaseball.com

A box seat at Yankee Stadium costs $3.50 in 1967. Flash-forward to 2008 – the last year in the House That Ruth Built – and the cost of a box seat will run you $250.00. To place this in perspective, using the Consumer Price Index, $3.50 in 1967 would be worth $22.14 in 2007 dollars. That means that the cost of a box seat at Yankee Stadium has risen 1029 percent since 1967, with inflation accounted.
