 | Breaking the Slump by Charles C. Alexander
Baseball's adaptation to the Great Depression is analyzed in this socioeconomic look at America's favorite game, which uses team financial statements as narratives, to reveal a game and its players in deep trouble. Every team but the New York Yankees operated mostly in the red during those years, with players taking deep salary cuts. Measures meant to tighten the game and attract fans--like the introduction of the dead ball to keep scoring down--had varying success, though some, such as the sacrifice fly and player names on uniforms, continue to this day. There were highlights, to be sure, including the powerful Yankee dynasty composed of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Joe DiMaggio, the nucleus of a team that won five straight World Series.
