Case Study: The San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants are one of the most consistent teams in baseball in World Series contention year after year. A big reason why is staff ace Madison Bumgarner since making his debut in 2009, he is a three-time World Series champion and has become one of the most reliable starters in the big league right now. In just seven seasons Bumgarner has become one of the best lefties to ever take the mound in the big leagues. He is 95-63 with 2.94 ERA. Those numbers prove he's an amazing pitcher and is constantly baffling hitters.

However, the moment the baseball world really appreciated and understood how good Bumgarner is was the 2014 World Series when he put his team on his back and single-handedly won the championship. He a rubber armed

    Case: The Chicago Blackhawks:Greatest Sports Business Turnaround Ever?

    When Rocky Wirtz took over the management of the Chicago Blackhawks, he needed to turn things around quickly and implement a competitive strategy. There were many decisions made by his father and the previous management team that were not very well received by the fans. These decisions included: trading popular players and personnel, refusing to televise home games, and making poor coaching hires. These decisions resulted in alienation of fan base, decrease in attendance, and decrease in the value of the franchise. First, I would work on obtaining and retaining talented players. This would include brand marketing star players, Towes and Kane, as the future of the franchise and signing them to long-term contracts. By showing this commitment to the players, fans will rally behind the team. In addition, developing a farm system and seeking out other talented players to supplement the team would be necessary as well, which shows commitment to the fans. Next, marketing the Blackhawks both locally and nationally. Eliminating the ban on local television coverage will only help get fans excited about their team, the players and management’s decisions. These changes will help rebuild the fan base, allow for more sponsorship opportunities and ultimately grow revenues. Finally, the Blackhawks need to bring in an experienced head coach that can commit for multiple seasons. By finding a coach who is well liked by both the players and the fans will not only help grow the brand but also develop the players. This would also help the team by drawing in better players that could help in branding it as a “new look” Blackhawks with an experienced coach. These changes of retaining top talent, marketing to the fan base, and developing a winning attitude would reinvent the Chicago Blackhawks into a desirable franchise for the fans, investors and the City of…

    Jim Abbott: Baseball Treacher Who Changed The World

    Jim Abbott overcame many trivial endeavours to reach the status he has come to. It takes a lot of heart to get to the MLB especially as a handicap.As most pitchers are in the show for money, fame, records; Jim Abbott was doing all of this just to prove a point. That it doesn’t matter how strong your athletic ability is, as long as you're able to put in the work and effort you can go anywhere. Jim Abbott once said, "If you keep harping on a disability, then you'll start believing there is one. So I don't" (Jim Abbott) (R.J from Sandiego page 1). Abbott knew that he had to keep thinking of it not as a problem but as a reason to push harder to accomplish his goal in life. That is why he is an inspiration to everyone and…

The Giants have been around since 1925, and have become a well-known organization and one that other teams look to emulate. The Giants play their home games at MetLife Stadium which was just built in 2010. The Giants are a part of my life, everyday conversation, looking up breaking news, who they are interested in taking in this year’s draft. It’s something I can share with my Dad, a fellow Giants fan, and many of my close friends. This team keeps us talking for hours as if we were on the field or in the locker room with them. There’s nothing better than waiting around all week to watch this team play on Sunday’s.…

    Baseball Magic

    On each pitching day for the first three months of a winning season, Dennis Grossini, a pitcher on a Detroit Tiger farm team, arose from bed at exactly 10:00 a.m. At 1:00 p.m. he went to the nearest restaurant for two glasses of iced tea and a tuna sandwich. Although the afternoon was free, he changed into the sweatshirt and supporter he wore during his last winning game, and, one hour before the game, he chewed a wad of Beech-Nut chewing tobacco. After each pitch during the game he touched the letters on his uniform and straightened his cap after each ball. Before the start of each inning he replaced the pitcher 's resin bag next to the spot where it was the inning before. And after every inning in which he gave up a run, he washed his hands.…
