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

    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…

    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.…

    It is a game of risk-taking, especially for the batter. When the baseball is pitched, the batter must instantly evaluate whether it will be a strike or a ball. The pitcher's deception makes that split-second decision much more difficult. A strike sends his teammates to the dugout, while a ball sends him to first base. The batter's dilemma: is that hardball the real deal or a decoy.…

    Tragic Fall Classic

    • 5 Pages

    Winning a World Series is the most coveted prize for any team in major league baseball. The “Fall Classic” of 1919 represented the power of greed. This series displayed a form of greed that may never be reached again in any professional sport. Most athletes possess the admirable greed of winning and succeeding. In 1919, six players of the Chicago White Sox showed a form of greed that rarely occurs in such a respectable game. What most professional baseball players never get to experience was traded for cash incentives. Through all the persuasion and temptation for something of monetary value that some would consider worth more than a world championship, two men exhibited that true love for the game of baseball and loyalty to one’s team can help overcome such temptations. This series not only represented the utter greed of 6 players, but the loyalty, strength, pride, and respect for the game of baseball that can counteract such a heinous form of greed.…

    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…
