Baseball Research Paper

On the research topic of major league baseball our goal is to research the dependence of salary, wins, and how many attend the games on an average. The issue is do salaries and overall team revenue based on wins or individual talent. Through research this question of is does the overall team salary depend on one more than the other. Is one factor more important than the next. Also is whether the league national or American plays a role in the overall salary from the start not factoring in the statistics of the actual games played by the team.

They tie with wins with the Yankees at 95 wins. So there’s a problem with dependency among the 29 major league teams and how they get the team salary from the data. Through our research we will find the most impacting factors that end up making the final salaries by the million in major league baseball teams.

There are a lot more teams making much more than them with far less wins like the Mets with 101.3 million with only 83 wins or Detroit with 69 million and only 71 wins. So this shows that it cannot be fully depend on wins alone. Through our research the question of salary and its factors of dependency in major league baseball will be
