The Sluggers Come Home
Whats About
“The slugger’s come home” is an explicative and demonstrative video that represents an example of a negotiation process. It shows, from a baseball theme example, how does negotiation between 2 parties may work. While the video shows us the perspective of both parties, it also gives us some extra information about negotiation process.

At the beginning, Dr. Margaret describes the objective of the video. She drive us though the process and give us tips, recommendations, common errors and many explanation about what is happening during the negotiation.

The video introduces a common negotiation example. It shows us 2 parties, one that have a baseball stadium that needs a team, and the other that has a team and wants a place to play. At first it seems like a very easy deal, as both parties wants what the other have, but as we understand each party point of view, is easy to see that the priorities have very high differences.

The two main parties are the Curry brothers and real estate developer Barbara Meyers.

Ted and Bill Curry are the owners of Curry field. They have one of the best playgrounds in the area. The field has a lot of history and now they have renovated the entire stadium, but they do not own a baseball team. The brothers want to see one good team playing in what seems to be a tradition on their family. They love baseball and all they want is to bring the Sluggers to the fans and the city.

In the other side is Barbara Meyers. She manage a baseball team that currently is playing in an other field but she and their partner knows that the Curry field could give better options for incomings and prestige.

Both parties want to make the deal. They both know it could benefit both sides to make the negotiation flow, but there’s some differences between that makes a little hard to involve in.

The Curry brothers know their field is one of the best. They have really good intentions to make the team and the playground grow

    The overall message was to remain calm, structure the discussion in ways that you can win. There is no win-win in a negotiation. Someone must be on the losing side, even if they think they are not. We must stay ahead of the other person, and consider the outcomes that are possible. The traps that come with overthinking negotiation must be avoided at all costs. We must identify the errors in the process prior to entering into any negotiating. We must use descriptive models and anticipate every move in order to be…

    Well, regardless of the illogical thought of doing this, and with the support of his wife, Ray started to work on the baseball field. Eventually the one he thought he was building the field for, the great “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, who died some thirty years before the field was ever thought of, appeared from the corn field and onto the baseball field. The sight of this would put anyone in awe and sure enough it did and pushed Ray to continue on. During the rest of the construction of the field, Ray had to interpret other…

    Baseball in Brooklyn has been in existence since the 1800s with the Brooklyn Grays, but the name that most people remember when they talk about Brooklyn is the Dodgers. Most people remember the Dodgers for their great play and also for a man by the name of Walter O’Malley on moving the Dodgers to Los Angeles. This move was made possible by the political maneuverings of New York City and Los Angeles, families moving away from big cities to the suburbs, U.S. expansion westward, and other factors like air travel becoming more common. This move had a deep impact on not only the baseball world but on the sports world also.…

Not even 20 years after the first official game they had accumulated a crowd of more then 20,000 spectators for the championship game between the Mutual Club of Manhattan and the Atlantic Club of Brooklyn. This demonstrates the instant impact that baseball had on the community, allowing thousands of unfamiliar people to come together and cheer for the team of their choosing.

    In 1890, the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers professionals’ baseball team joined the National League. Over the following years, the Dodgers would have considerable difficulty competing with the other baseball themes in the New York City area. Those teams, principal among them the New York Yankees, were much better financed and generally stocked with players of higher caliber. In 1958, after nearly seven decades of mostly frustration on and off the baseball field, the Dodgers shocked the sports world by moving to Los Angeles. Walter O’Malley, the flamboyant owner of the Dodgers, saw an opportunity to introduce professional baseball to the rapidly growing population of the West Coast. More important, O’Malley saw an opportunity…

    The video is an informative/educative session that walks us through the DOs and DON’Ts of negotiation. Negotiation is an art that involves preparation, bargaining & settlement. Negotiation is all about striking a deal that benefits both the parties. One should be of the opinion that he/she needs to get the bigger portion of the pie and leave the other party in a loss situation. A deal will only last if both the parties are happy with the outcome. It is very critical that each party knows their advantages, strengths & weaknesses and that each party has done their homework before they begin the negotiation.

    Our objectives and interests as a group were to behave collectively, formally, patiently, indirectly, unemotionally and passively. These goals conflicted with the other party’s position because they were the very opposite of those traits. Our opponents were rude, impatient, demanding, crude, Machiavellian, direct and emotional. The other party was interested in settling as quickly as possible and on their terms. We did not attempt to interject objective standards; we attempted to remain patient and indirect. Both parties were prepared prior to negotiation to address specific issues. Beta’s strategy was not to go into the negotiation and immediately deal with the issues at hand, but to be patient and ensure that the…
