Partnership Description

Minor Leagues General Information

Baseball is known as “America’s Favorite Pastime.” However, there is a vast difference between Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball. As a result of inconsistent product quality at the Minor League level, minor league franchises are forced to explore other strategies to attract spectators to the game. Minor league games are known to be a “Family Friendly” environment, which is suitable for our “target market.” The season starts in the beginning of April and runs to the middle of September with a 4-team playoff following the regular season. The South Atlantic League and Eastern League brought in a combined attendance of over 7 million spectators in 2012. There are 26 teams between the two leagues and each has a total of 68 home games. With the promise of lengthy brand exposure over a wide array of cities, partnering with these respective minor leagues will prove to be a valuable marketing decision and help achieve our

    The costs of sporting events in America have soared to an incredible high over the decades. Baseball, basketball, football, and hockey have become important in our society for escape and entertainment for all ages over the history of the United States. When professional sports gained nationwide popularity in the 1950s, ticket prices were tailored to fit the average American’s budget. A major league Baseball ticket averaged a mere $1.54 in 1950. (Haupert, 2007) In the 1950s, a child of preteen age could afford to attend a professional baseball game on allowance money afforded to him by his parents. In 2009, the average ticket price for a Major League baseball game is a steep $25.40. (Press, 2008) Those days of “fun for all” have been put to a violent halt by the owners and proprietors of professional sports. As expected, ticket prices have increased with inflation as with any other consumer product, but the greediness of the owners and those associated has taken over in professional sports. Because of the popularity increasing, owners have felt the need to drastically increase profits at the fans expense. This incredible increase is not applied in Major League baseball exclusively. All professional…

    Baseball has long been a cherished recreational activity and an integral part of American life and culture. Over time, many baseball terms have become main stream idiomatic expressions in U.S. English, such as something is “in the ballpark” when an action or results fall within commonly accepted and expected boundaries or someone is asked to “step up to the plate” to take status-changing action. In many respects, baseball can be seen as a metaphoric reflection of American cultural and social values. Take for example the many variations of the beloved story of the unassuming underdog baseball player who rises to fame or the disjointed team that manages to rally and win a highly coveted championship trophy, or the notion that there is hope until the very end because “anything can happen in baseball” . Numerous American classics such as The Bad News Bears (1976), The Sandlot (1993), and Perfect Game (2000) build their coming of age stories around baseball as the quintessential American boyhood experience. Why is it then that the love for little league baseball seems to be waning in the small town of Vienna, Virginia?…

    The completion in Major League Baseball has been greatly imbalanced since the strike shortened season of 1994. Competitive balance should exist when there are no clubs chronically weak because of Major League Baseball's structural features. Proper competitive balance will not exist until every well-run club has a regularly recurring reasonable hope of reaching postseason play which is parity. One of the primary reasons for the competitive imbalance that does occur in Major League Baseball is difference in how much revenue teams bring in. Large market teams such as the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and New York Mets are able to bring in large amounts of revenue. Small market teams such as the Minnesota Twins, Milwaukee Brewers, and Montreal…

    After several decades and countless games, people tired of the slow, grind it out pace that baseball had to offer. As the technological boom continued to explode across the map in the early 1990s, the pace of life on our planet was speeding up by the day. Information was readily accessible at our fingertips, people could be reached on the go via cellphone, the list goes on. As people began to experience a greater deal of excitement, baseball did not change with the times. The strike shortened season of 1994, which saw the World Series and approximately 50 regular season games get cancelled, was seemingly the nail in baseball’s popularity coffin. People were fed up, and they wanted their game back. When play resumed in the spring of 1995, people did not care for the results. Since the last full season in 1994, ticket prices had dropped by 13 percent league wide to accommodate for the drop in attendance, which remained at a 9% decrease even after the price reduction (ESPN). However, things took a turn in 1996.…
