Baseball has been around in some way, shape, or form for 180 years, ever since that fateful day when Abner Doubleday invented America’s pastime in Cooperstown, NY. It has experienced fantastic growth over the past 16 years in particular, setting record gross revenue figures every year since 2002. Even with a few bumps in the road, namely the Miami Marlins and the Great Free Agent Freeze the past two winters (though all the extensions signed the past few weeks have acted as a surrogate free agency), Major League Baseball seems to be humming right along.
