National cultures are built around national pastimes. How we play helps define who we think we are. This is the story of two great sports-America's game, and the world's game. The authors examine how organizational structures have made Major League Baseball a profitable business (notwithstanding common claims made by the owners) while soccer leagues around the world struggle to break even. They weave a rich variety of stories, anecdotes, and photos into their account of how these games became businesses, and how these businesses have adapted to the demands of fans.
