Edited Stee-rike Four! What's Wrong With the Business of Baseball?, Praeger Publishers: Westport, CT, 1997.
"[An] informative layman's guide to the issues which have come to dominate the Hot Stove League over the past quarter century. Stee-rike Four! should be required reading for the economic illiterates who dominate the newspaper, radio, and TV discussion of the business of baseball....As the first layman's guide to baseball economics written after the 1994-95 cataclysm, Stee-rike Four! deserves a larger audience."
Outside the Lines
"...when sport history enjoys the full academic respect its
practioners earnestly crave...this present collection of essays, assembled by an associate
professor of economics at Arkansas State University, will stand as a primary
document."
Steven P. Gietschier,
The Sporting News
"These days a baseball fan would also do well to have a fairly strong background in economics, as luxury taxes, salary arbitration and revenue-sharing have become the new buzzwords of the bleachers. In keeping with that spirit, today's fans should consider Stee-rike Four! required reading. Subtitled What's Wrong with the Business of Baseball? this collection of essays by well-respected economists discusses topics such as free agency, baseball's antitrust exemption and the issue of rising salaries."
Dispute Resolution Journal
"[E]xcellent economic analyses of aspects of America's favorite professional sporting pastime...written in language that makes them understandable even to readers without formal training in economics. They exhibit, in this context, the power of the discipline of economics as a predictor of behavior. Regular and persistent readers of newspaper sports pages will find their understanding enlarged by the reading of this book."
Simon Rottenberg Professor of Economics,
University of Massachusetts, Amherst
