The Big Business Of Baseball

In this planet where we live is always manifested outrageous things, typical of a civilization dominated many interests according to the management of emotions, empty existential concerns, then, that we wonder what you are capable of expressing itself, such as sports, where there are incredible business, as in the case of Baseball, where the gloves, balls, bats, and skills of players who know how, provide millions of dollars, euros that many other businesses. Where, this triggers various sports activities.

Sport in which players earn more than any other legal profession, an engineer, teacher, economist, administrator, journalist, doctor, to name a few who are paid millions of dollars or euros per serving in a playground question that is supposed to please those who identify with that sport. All this on the basis of their skill.

Of course, to assess the scope, which is the business of Baseball, it is necessary to enter the United States where it operates the largest marketing is your game, which pay better wages and jan. That much money. For his job, so there are fewer in Japan, Mexico and other countries in the Caribbean. But the most important business and what it represents in profits in the United States, in its Major leagues and associations.

Baseball is played in the following parts of the world: Africa, Asia, Australia, Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Middle East, North America, South America and Oceania

In an interesting work on this issue, says Jaime Perez Cervantes, which

global activities of the Major League Baseball (MLB) follow the same path, a Multinational Company (MNC).

The professional baseball, the world is governed by Major League Baseball (MLB)

The amateur baseball is governed by the Association of International Baseball Federation (IBAF)

The National League since its inception, sought to make money with the help of many people, including William Hulbert, Harry Wright, Albert Spalding, and so on.

Was separated from its inception to the owners (business) of the players, and there was always conflict between the two sides, however, must understand that they are interdependent.

These men believed in the baseball final, as a business rather than a pastime.

The American League also came with a strategy for doing business, led by Byron Bancroft, Ban Johnson, who worked at the Minor League circuit, and then called Western League became the American League, he rushed against the monopoly of the National League.

Johnson offered a job talents, higher wages, and a family atmosphere in the parks of baseball and brought prosperity for both sides, the fan and player.

Its success, led the National League in 1902 to negotiate an agreement with the American League and became the foundation of the MLB.

He grew the business of baseball in the USA and earnings have reached huge numbers.

We, Cervantes said, and explained what was meant by globalization and baseball are two basic phenomena:

1 .- The denationalization of the market for consumers of baseball, because this is no longer a nation but the multinational companies (MNCs).

2 .- The labor market also becomes baseball's Global.

Major League Baseball, an organization that has become an international phenomenon, a global business, a Mutinacional Company (MNC).

Players from over 20 countries are gathered here to compete in 30 teams, among the most famous being the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox Los Angeles Dodgers, which are known from Aruba to Zimbabwe, in fact the most famous is the Yankees .

The season runs from the LMB, the last day of March to October, and 162 games, you run the finest athletes.

In July, they play the super stars in the All-Star Game fans from all over the world vote to choose who comprise these teams.

Reaches the maximum in October, with the playoffs first and then the biggest sport in the world The World Series between the champions of the National and American.

The Major League Baseball, working on developing the sport around the world also donate money to organizations or in the great tragedies like the destruction of the twin towers and problems of large cities, but also help youth .

The major league baseball continues to be globalized as some teams playing outside the U.S. and Toronto Blue Jays, and until 2004, the Montreal Expos in Canada too, the Baltimore Orioles who played in Cuba. The San Diego Padres and Rockies have played in Monterrey, Mexico in Japan the Yankees, the Expos in Puerto Rico, the games against USA Stars Stars of Japan, etc..

Baseball continues to grow and where players are essentially like Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Holland, Denmark, and play.

The players R. Dominican, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Mexico, continue to rise.

Cervantes says that we must consider the role in business generated by the International Association of Federations of baseball, amateur baseball controlling their offices are located in Lausanne, Switzerland, has 113 national federations, 40 of them are from Europe. It is estimated that some 40 million players participating in an organized baseball around the world. Are those who organize the Intercontinental Cup, World Cup and Olympic championships.

The MLB has a role in helping grow the sport in Europe, and has programs in many countries, including England Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Czechoslovakia, Greece, etc..

It also follows the traditional marketing strategy of targeting consumers with disposable income, we are chosen to developed countries.

In 1992, baseball was introduced to the Olympic Games and other countries like United States, Cuba, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Holland and Italy, have competed.

Cervantes adds us in his letter that he baseball besides being a national pastime in the USA now is a great business integral. Around the world playing and services are produced. In Moscow there are 900 stores and six major sports companies engaged in this field. And baseball is not only a success in the major leagues, but throughout the world and is taken as a business. The MLB has created jobs, as managers, players, their development and sale of these managers, Umpires, broadcasters, scouts journalists, suppliers of uniforms, spikes, useful baseball, souvenirs, toys. Telecommunications, maintenance workers, cleaners, police, publicists for all levels, specialists in marketing, prizes and those who develop, doctors, masseurs, antidoping laboratories, transportation of cars, buses, restaurants with food, parking hotels, gardeners, pilots, psychologists, entertainment, pets, clubs, parks engineers builders, architects, mechanics, painters, masons, printers of books, etc.. An agreement was signed between MLB and the Players Association (MLBPA) This is the SPK for a new fantasy baseball game (started on February 17) and a brand new kind of business in that through Internet fans can play the role of CEO of the MLB, make your own team with 14 stars and the budget limit of $ 50 million, fans will compete for a prize of $ 100,000.

Very interesting when it is noted that the MLB teams derive their income from three basic sources: 1 .- Tickets sold at the stadium 2 .- Sales of licensed products

3 .- Sale of television transmission today article largest gain and the rights of radio and the Internet

Very true what Cervantes says that the MLB has also created products for the fans (consumers). The world has become a shopping market in which the ideas and products are available everywhere. Different nations are converted into one place, in a single market for products of major league.

Authorized to sell their goods within and outside the U.S. and gives rights to foreign and local companies to use logos of the MLB teams, from baseball photos, videos or electronic, uniforms, baseball spikes tools, souvenirs, toys, food, beer, etc.. etc. U.S. sales of the game means the 30 million Latinos. The players union and MLB MLBP (SPK), a contract in 1987 to manage the business. In 1998, MLBP agreements with federations, teams, clubs, companies and stores in 109 countries for the sale of goods permitted for MLB. Retail sales of licensed products are projected to grow 200% over the next five years under this new strategy of marketing. The spread of the MLB games in foreign countries will increase the likelihood that the fans in those countries buy the merchandise of MLB.

Recalling A craftsman of Popular Culture Argentina

Throughout our long and vital parabola, we have been checking many of the makers of our daily life (or those who raised at some point in our lives enjoyable moments). Come check reiterate that with the passage of time is lost in oblivion.


Our children in the fifties in the Ensenada de Barragán, we remember that that Spanish dancer Otilia Curbelo, that reciter Bravo, choreographer of the film that local "social", "Chorson" Dival of the heated speeches Elgarrista Rafael.

Discount if every veteran or veteran makes a journey to his childhood, recalled in his small town, your neighborhood, or rural district, to people like those I mentioned. If not one or you are going to dump some support in these "micro-history", all those rich trajectories, which never reached the "consecration" in the media, end up fading into oblivion.

A few years ago, referring to another character very similar to that evoke this time, we referred to a section in his time, was the then widely held American magazine "The Reader's Digest." The section called "My unforgettable character," and was devoted to a person who had impressed the authors of it.

This time, we want to evoke the "fat" Adolfo Ortiz. Of what "fat" is not menoscabante, but everyone called him well in an era in which there was no crime of discrimination.

I met him in action when "fat" when conducted in the Parque Chacabuco the city of Buenos Aires, the Argentine championship Running Free in the spring of 1962. We were teenagers, and why our memories are not as accurate, but those were the championships of the FECSYDA. And over time also learned that they were the initials of the Federation of Social and Cultural amateur sport, we also learned that there was a sort of symbiosis between the "fat" and Fecsyda. As this communication is not passing along the road of life circumstances, it is worth clarifying that the character and the institution, a part of Argentina, which was outlined in the thirties and asomaría fully with the emergence of the phenomenon to life Peronist Argentina . The FECSYDA was founded in 1940, although it would be granted legal status 4 years later. The entity in any way recognized the existence of clubs in the neighborhood, which houses a family of humble workers. These clubs had somehow taken as models to clubs inspired by English immigrants and then imitated by then was known as "wealthy families".

By the time perspective, it is perceived that they were not alien to these clubs, current anarchist and socialist, who had much popular among the poor families especially in large cities in Argentina. This implied conflict situations, such as that practiced athletics clubs where they were associated with "wealthy families", known as the "Land Athletics, athletics and free" that these clubs prohijaban neighborhood. So that championship 1962 edition was one of many Roman numerals, which means that the free consent of the decade of the thirties.

Once, long ago an old athlete told me that the Communists' free athletes. " Well, the "fat" was a man of that era. A Buenos Aires, where "everyone" knew. In fact a euphemism, where all who excel in any activity known. Times were the emergence of the phenomenon of radio, talkies and journalism with its graphic magazines and newspapers with a lot of photographic material. In this exchange between reporters and athletes was growing "fat". Perhaps a more academic research can demonstrate that it has been an athlete, because while I knew him, had a strong predisposition to athletics: A test for this trend was provided when we died in 1973, one of the great athletic heroes of the decade of'30: Roger Ceballos, one of our mentors in sport and in life. We inform you by phone to Ortiz's death and one of the few flowers that arrived in the wake of the organization was the "TEAM", one of the inventions of the "Gordo".

Today the "fat" would be considered a "micro". So are the guys like I said "looks." That was one of apocopation "seeks life." I did not know that none of them made millionaire ...

Said later that Gordo was sports journalist (even had a brother who was a photojournalist).

I believe that one way to chart the way forward that evoke the character was the "Post to Junín Athletic Gigante," which promoted Ortiz in January 1963.

As a broadcast journalist, had a space on Radio Belgrano, which was called "The Club of campeoncitos. Thence clubs promoted activities in relation to the neighborhood FECSYDA. And when organized table, the "sports embassies."

By that trade between the world of celebrity athletes and artistic highlights, one can surmise that the "fat" took away the idea of "sports embassies." For these time had been given the nickname of "scratching", which made a tour of the interior villages of radio theater companies, gaucho type drama, which aired on Radio Porteña, led by Juan Carlos Chiappe Audon or Lopez. "Fachenzo damn," was an icon of that style.

Well, the question that Ortiz, organized the "Posta Athletic at Junín." There we were with our adolescent enthusiasm.

The study of the then Radio Belgrano located in Ayacucho and Posadas, we made a kind of "circus", and after hearing, we Junín swift running, but stopped after a few hundred meters near the Law School. From there take the bus and not stop until General Rodriguez (40 miles later). Figures of the embassy were the Olympic marathon champion of 1932, Juan Carlos Zabala, Armando Pino stretches late in his career after being one of the greatest athletes of substance, overshadowed by the simultaneity of its apogee with the presence of two "giants" in the business as Osvaldo Suarez and Walter Lemos, Ezekiel and the picturesque "byteIT 'e Gráfico" Bustamante, a character that we're the most lovable and the memorandum that we have already long ago. The stop at General Rodriguez Zabala was that I wanted to greet Daniel Musso, auto broker who was very famous at the time of splendor Zabala. Could only do so by telephone. From there we started to run "in post" is a stretch to say every athlete and continue to exit Luján (20 km), where again subirnos the bus, and only stop in Chacabuco curve that is nearly 150 kilometers later.

There we "crossed" the bus company's already existent Red, which came the "Gordo" and his young companion and rellenita. We waved and resume the march. From there, it really started to fall while running in the afternoon and post, while Carlitos Obberti, almost children, are run by cramp in the pavement ...

Upon arrival in Junín, access, go running every group. People thought we had been running in Buenos Aires ... we applauded. and nobody told him otherwise ...

In front of Club Jorge Newbery, a stage in the "fat" to the master of ceremonies (a leader of those) and there were Zabala, and Pino Bustamante, as well as two "glories" of the local athletes: Parchappe and John Fuss ( international hammer thrower). After a dinner with our words evoked the morning and a farewell lunch at the Club, with Guido Brovarone imitating famous radio Cologne "Ariel Delgado."

Before the embassy sport step back through the house to pay homage to a kind of fuss.

We count on that because that was the sort of thing to our "biography." Perhaps only those who still remember to this valley of tears. In October 1996, I ran into the house of Chacabuco Family Stamponi-married to the daughter-Fuss a photo of that event.

The years went by, always saw the "fat" in any of his things, promoted the organization TEAM, which had created it and where to promote an athletic "free." Back in 1971, the municipality of Buenos Aires, organized an athletic test in the streets, walking the fat in the organization and remember that at the stage of arrival, which had succeeded the man who had a seat in the orange block to the arrival , join the event, giving oranges to competitors.

That was the style of "fat." Things simple, concrete steps to be close to the popular sectors.

Every time you spend with the group 71 Avenue Triumvirate and reach the Plaza de Villa Urquiza, before crossing the railway line, comes to mind that Sunday Spring 1962. The "fat" had a scheduled athletic festival. The "other side" of the railway station, which was "Center" Commercial "is developing a foot race in the background. Then we crossed the road and around the square was the career of "middle" (800 meters) and on Avenida Triunvirato is running a race speed of 200 meters. Traders in the area have donated items that were given as prizes. And a neighborhood club providing facilities for clothing, toilets and showers. Something similar again in the crucible of the street club Zaraza. The fat "became" any public space in a sports field. Decades later, in the fields of sport and physical education "that" it will know where it had happened or where he had taken out Ortiz, gave him the name "Sports for All", or "Community Sport" .

And it was during the third president of General Perón, who was the next event. It turns out that the general received in Olivos, a delegation of athletes. When referring to say a few words, began to refer repeatedly to the FECSYDA, as to which entity had promoted between 1943 and 1955, the sport in the neighborhoods. Witnesses to the event, told us that the circumstances of the areas sports officials began to look to each other. Were already imagined what would happen. Just heard the "Gordo" appeared for the then Ministry of Social Welfare, "manga" for FECSYDA entity that Ortiz had helped maintain popular during Prohibition, and he could not deny his "mangazo" watch what he had General memorandum on ...

Of course the "fat", like all simple people of his style, always had problems with paperwork, as with cars that sell a specific group of which I need not elaborate. Well, I had problems with accountability, and that was the last news I had of him.

Sure that each half when veteran or veteran, in his wanderings memory similar to that with great affection and nostalgia, I relate with all our limitations.

Rodolfo Ortiz but I pay my admiration for these socio-cultural as they are known today, with great intuition and a few formalities, gave us many moments of great spiritual joy, therefore, that marked our sensibilities, now several decades in any action, we have a great taste in evoked.

Adventure activities in New Zealand

Paradise adventurer par excellence, New Zealand has much more to offer than beautiful scenery and relaxing. It is also the place where we can find more adrenaline discharge per square meter than anywhere else in the world. Undoubtedly, Queenstown, known as the world capital of adventure sports, up to its name by far.

Various adventure activities that can be found in New Zealand may be typical of the country or in other well-spread.

For which we know more, consider New Zealand as a paradise for surfers, since their costs, especially in the west, waves are very disappointed not practicable to any lover of the surf, especially those that we always practice in the Mediterranean !

What we call bungee jumping, called Bungee Jumping, is typical in New Zealand, and people pulled with ropes tied to their feet from a bridge over a river, but also from the top of the tower in Auckland, the SkyTower to over 250 meters above the city ... Without words.

Skydiving, jumping from a plane, white water rafting (and black), kayaking, cave exploration, scuba diving ... Are already known from other activities that can be found in New Zealand around.

Although true grace lies in the "local". And if not, I say of Zorbing? Quilted getting into a ball, or tied into it and release it so that you roll down a slope into endless. To take the first pap, of course.

Other adventure activities? Well, we have the Fly By Wire, which is mounted on a sort of a flying apparatus with a turbine after being caught by a cable from a crane high. When the motor is activated, this piece takes you to fast speeds in a pendulum-like motion of the pirate ship. Only this time you have controls, and the feeling of flying is complete!

For those who are not quite with it, and what is the final JetBoating. Crawl through a river that flows through very narrow cliffs of about 90 km / h brushing against the riverbed and the rocks and doing pirouettes and spins 360 degrees. If not sound enough, but I assure you it is. It is not cheap, but we must try!

Conluyendo, the madness of the Kiwis and benefit from his love for nature and creativity has made New Zealand one of the highest potential for adventure sports, a place to see a man flying through spend anywhere seems to be part of "normal."

When sport is not Healthy

The values of courage, patience, respect, humility, sacrifice and excellence that has always embodied the sport are on the eve of the Olympic Games in Beijing more perverted than ever. Since ancient times, all peoples and civilizations have given a special worship at the man's physical activity and sport, which is just how competitive one. From racing speed, the bloody confrontation with no arms or throwing objects, whose only reward for the winner was an olive branch, we are now observing with some astonishment and shame those who earn millions of dollars in just one athlete for image rights. The sport has become a global phenomenon, seen by all mankind, and that moves vast amounts of money. Today, wealth, public image, reputation and the obsessive quest for victory, have turned to sport for the elite and many of those involved in it and headed in an unhealthy example for young people.

The success representing professional athletes has become a lure for many young people yearning to succeed and achieve popularity and money quickly. Parents are often complicit, if not all tyrants who want to see your coastline yearnings and failures in their children. Also the authorities, who have encouraged unhealthy practices among adolescents in order to achieve sporting success to support his political ambitions. If a child took 5 hours a day to help the family business, the parents would be committing a crime. But if another child the same age, ten hours a day going into a gym and improve your muscle gaining technique sporting cause admiration.

The organization Save the Children has revealed in its latest report that this situation tends to occur with increasing frequency in all countries. The host of the Olympics this year is one of the states that violate the Olympic spirit and philosophy. China has developed methods Spartans with an army of athletes whose sole purpose is vital to achieve a metal hung from the neck. Gymnast girls are taken from their homes, with the consent of their parents to live in a regime of slavery, from its best years in a gym and an improper diet of a child. The winner of four medals in Munich'72 with 15 years of age, Shane Gould says that the Olympic movement tries to younger athletes as pawns. "

As children are almost always the most affected by the demands of today's society. Many children of sub Saharan Africa is embarking on dangerous journeys through the desert and in small boats in the hope of calling in the quarries of Real Madrid, Milan, Ajax Amsterdam and Lyon. The best clubs in Europe are responsible for bringing in talented young Africans plane, who then abandoned to their fate if they fail to meet expectations, without a job without training and without papers they can stay in Europe. Footballers are a big influence on society. His way of playing is admired by all, but so is their way of dressing, talking, and living. If athletes are trained as full and ripe, with the smallest cultural and historical knowledge of the countries through which they move, and become that positive influence and beneficial to the young.

The Olympic motto "Citius, Altius, Fortius" Faster, higher, stronger, perhaps should be changed to "More beautiful, more humane, better," as proposed by the philosopher and educator José María Cagigal sport. Because the sport is, as the French writer Jean Giraudoux, the esperanto of all races, and we must not forget that in the Olympic event that will live in a few days there will be children of all ages who have not enjoyed his childhood, and probably feel disoriented in adulthood.

Two Backpacks

Article I A new season same goal, the common challenge of hundreds of children of all ages looking for the reward of human and sporting success, not only in terms of degrees, but the intellectual and practice sports. The opportunity and challenge our youth to the new athletic season is a comforting endorsement to a new school year.

Possible fears and apprehensions to new teachers, classmates and books after the summer entertaining, they are rewarded very nicely for the return to the dressing rooms and pitches. The picture that hits us most is the ability of your chameleon eyes, while the arrival of the "college" or institution offers a melancholic and observant eyes of the unknown, the arrival at the pitch gives vivid brightness and a crystal.

Year after year this unique conversion has occurred on the face of our young people here and part of the greatness of the sport, some eyes that are capable of coping with enthusiasm to the new sport season, guarantee success. For this reason, parents and educators must be able to imbue in our children the same playful spirit and defiant before the new school year. Their backpacks are loaded with sporting dreams and illusions and we who have to leave them to develop independently their personalities through the discovery of own values and attitudes, they are capable and are working because you have hope even in adversity and struggling to make a site in their sport. Self-esteem grows with the effort and reward should be particularly positive acceptance from parents and professionals to that effort.

Our task is to make their school backpacks full of information is no longer a gap to the contents of backpacks and sports content to reach both coexist in the same space, the success would be insured in addition to double. The sport does not guarantee academic success, obviously, and especially in today's information society that creates a daily sports gods, idols and surrounded by glamorous lined economically, which would undoubtedly have achieved through their efforts and I congratulate him because Dreams are part of our "little ones", but it is also true that very few coming in and that simply does not get is by no means a failure, because the goals in the sporting life of a child are not set the goal, but in the way that helps you step by step and day in their development, both as a sports school.

Therefore, throughout the ages and sports has taught us that the instrument is used to ensure the profitability and both school must share the same space in the learning and development of the child's personality. September 1, 2005
