Pay Dirt: The Business of Professional Team Sports Paperback - 1997
by James P. Quirk; Rodney D. Fort
The decade of the nineties has seen both pro sports players and owners making phenomenal profits. Now available in paperback, this veritable bible of sports economics clearly explains the effects of salary caps, the reasons why owners fear antitrust hearings in Washington, why sweetheart deals for new stadiums are becoming the norm, and why everyone is making so much money in sportsat the expense of the fans. Photos & illus.
First line
AS THE STORY goes, in the late 1950s, just a few years before he died, Ty Cobb was interviewed by a young reporter.
From the rear cover
"Blending illuminating (and entertaining) anecdotes with economic analysis, James Quirk leads readers through the increasingly complex labyrinth of a significant industry--professional sports. Along the way he slays the notion that economics is the `dismal science.' He demonstrates that decisions made in the executive offices of sports franchises can be as fascinating as, and can influence, what happens in the games. All Americans are involved in the sports business as ticketbuyers, taxpayers, and participants in the culture that shapes and is shaped by professional sports. So there should be a wide readership for this intelligent guide to reading newspapers' sports pages, which increasingly resemble business pages."--George Will
