Watching the Academy Awards earlier this month it occurred to me how similar baseball is to the movie industry. Each industry is, at their heart, entertainment. Each industry has extremely talented people who more often than not, are self absorbed and out of touch. And each industry is big business.
I wanted to see just how close these two outlets resemble each other, and I was amazed. In 2017, the movie industry produced 726 movies that made it to a big screen. Major League Baseball has 30 teams with 25 players on each of them, which total 750 players.
