This is how you build up a connection between on-field talent and the fans. I've always felt that true promotion of players and their personalities have been purposely hidden, forgetting the fact that sports is entertainment, and we kind of need to know the characters. This is a simple concept that has eluded the South African local markets and it's sports organisations, and I'd love to see the tides turning on this one. #marketing #sportsmarketing #athletebranding #marketingstrategy

In the 1960s, there was yet another change in baseball’s structure—the draft (and we’re not talking about the war here). As reported by Matt Kelly of the Baseball Hall of Fame: “Created in 1965 to restore competitive balance and to curb the inflated signing bonuses given to unproven players, the amateur draft is now recognized by MLB teams as a crucial tool to ensuring their long-term success.” The amateur draft offers the lower-ranked baseball teams the earliest selections to sign the best prospects from the talent pool. In effect, this hurt teams like the more successful Yankees and Dodgers, who would, in most cases, be the preferred choice of the ballplayer. #Baseball #History #AmericanHistory #NationalPastime #TheNewYorkGame #Education #NYSBaseballHOF #AmericanLeague #Yankees #Draft
