This episode we are talking about the book ‘Will Big League Baseball Survive: Globalization, the End of Television, Youth Sports, and the Future of Major League Baseball’ by Lincoln A. Mitchell, a fascinating 2016 book which examines the extent to which MLB can continue to thrive in its current form, and analyses some of the key factors likely to threaten the future health of the sport.
We were fortunate to speak to the author, Lincoln Mitchell, about the book, and we chatted about the book’s main theses, and also (topically) about the likely longer-term impact of the coronavirus on baseball.
As mentioned at the end of the episode, we will be giving away a couple of copies of the excellent 'Baseball Life Advice' by Stacey May Fowles.
