The spectator sport needed professionals, and it needed amateurs. The professional series was then divided into two leagues, the National League in 1875, and the American League eventually in 1900. These two leagues would compete in their own games within a series of home and away games and then the winner of each league would become the World Series champion. This was a huge, innovative idea because this was like no other sport or event in its day. What is even more amazing is that when this idea was created, it stuck within the leagues and commissioners, and it’s used in so many more other sports.
Shown in doc. 2, Prince Ranjitsinhji of India was invited to play on the British Sussex team. It is often seen that the British have certain standards for a cricket player, but this shows they recognize the young player through his skills, not his background or caste.

MLBAM’s strategy is enlightening for other sports franchises and, undeniably, for other Companies in the online content business. While most leagues limit what they put on the web and avoid streaming live video online out of fear that their television ratings could be hurt, MLB’s experience suggests that such concerns might be misplaced.
Robby Krapfl Labor Economics 11/15/09 Ethnicities in Major League Baseball and How They Affect the Economy Introduction When one defines America’s pastime they will think of two things: apple pie, and baseball. The game of baseball was born in America and it was always considered to be something special to this country. However, the game has grown substantially since day one and it has expanded beyond our borders and into countries all over the world. This leads me to my research question: What ethnicities represent Major League Baseball and how have they changed throughout the years? I have been involved in multiple sports throughout my life; sports are something very special to me.
The British introduced a parliamentary system of government to the Indians. As stated in document 3 by Romesh Dutt, “Englishman has given the people of India the greatest human blessing – peace.” They have introduced Western Education. This has brought an ancient and civilized nation in touch with modern thought, modern sciences, and modern life. This means that the British have positively affected India because they brought over their knowledge and educated the natives, which results in more skilled workers. They also modernized India with their economic system of Mercantilism, and their parliamentary form of government.
ZINN CHAPTER 4 1. What is the thesis of this chapter? Around 1776, certain important people in the English colonies made a discovery that would prove enormously useful for the next two hundred years. They found that by creating a nation, a symbol, a legal unity called the United States, they could take over land, profits, and political power from favorites of the British Empire. In the process, they could hold back a number of potential rebellions and create a consensus of popular support for the rule of a new, privileged leadership.When we look at the American Revolution this way, it was a work of genius, and the Founding Fathers deserve the awed tribute they have received over the centuries.
Then you will see basketball, tennis, cycling, sailing, rowing and wrestling. These events go into the second level of pricing due to popularity and past success of English athletes. Then, lastly, there are all other events. For the opening and closing events I looked at past Olympics pricings and the venue that they will take place in, the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium. Prices are very competitive to those in past Olympics and offer many different tier levels.

The Use of Steroids in Baseball has become an issue that has occurred frequently in the past years around 2000 and up till this date in time. I basically chose this topic because it’s a very broad and interesting issue that has become involved in society and effected people of all ages and has even been brought into the court. The news we have seen on T.V or the newspapers about steroids and baseball players are just a small amount of information. There is more to that and things that surprise me about why they do it and how it all started and it’s something that needs to be explained more about. Through my research I’ve learned that as the years go on, there is more ways to produce and enhance such substances as steroids.
