reflection on baseball

I liked hearing about the business side of baseball, especially as it was describes by the Giants' exec. yesterday.  Everyone knows it's a multi-billion dollar business, but hearing about the specific revenue/expenditure totals was very interesting.  I especially enjoyed hearing about what it looks like when the team travels, how they go through security at the park and then roll right up to the plane, how they go into hotels through the back, how they stay under alias names, how there is food everywhere, constantly.  I also loved seeing the inner workings of ATT.  I suspect that the Giants' locker room is WAY nicer than the visitors' locker room.  I guess what came across most clearly to me is that even though baseball is a game, and something fans live for, it's still a business with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake.  Thank you, Mr. Joss, for such a complete look at how baseball operates.
