From the rear cover
"Hard Ball is attractive because it is a clearly and compellingly written book about a topic near and dear to the hearts of millions of Americans. It explains the fundamental economic causes of the nasty problems afflicting pro sports leagues in the waning days of the twentieth century. The audience is the smart fan who wants help in understanding why off-the-field problems so often overshadow the competition on the field."--Bruce K. Johnson, Centre College
"Hard Ball is a very fun read and delivers good economics in a remarkably painless way."--Bruce W. Hamilton, Johns Hopkins University
