Even though fighting is a terrible to see in baseball; however, it can create some jobs. Someone can be hired to handle all the the fines and maybe if a player gets in at least 5 fights; they qualify for a class on how to resist fighting. Also how to be more professional when someone gets hit and let the umpires handle it.

Fights increases by at least 5% within the past 10 years. Players are getting more aggresive when they play. Which is good until someone gets too aggressive. When they start to fight money is lost from the players.

Financial Concerns

Of course, one financial concern is how many fans will continue to watch after a fight like that. However, many fans will watch the next time those two teams play because some might want to see revenge. To keep it short and simple, "No fans no profit".

Who governs baseball?

Bud Selig is the commissioner of Major League Baseball. He is the man in charge and his word is final. He set the standards for the fines and time period of penalties. Penalties today are much more harsh than they were back in the day. Today, players get suspended on how there actions looked, which will cause their fines to vary from penalty to penalty.

Fights in Baseball

Fighting in baseball is really common within the sport now. Fights usually break out with the person at bat and the pitcher.

The earliest fight known happened in 1932, when the Chicago Whitesox and the Cleveland Indians went at it. Not really sure what took place but this started it all.

Final Day

This day was the worst because we were tying to get the project done. Im hoping we get it done in time; since we decided on a topic today. We decided to change our topic once again to fighting in baseball. That was the only thing we could find that would concern this project. We have been working on this project for at least 15 hours at least. I've never had to research anything like this; especially for my major. Once again im hoping we get a good grade and pass this course.

What a day

After class our group had decided to meet in the library at 3:15. We spent hours in the library and really couldn't find anything to deal with suspension in sports. All we found was the suspension in a sports car. After a couple hours searching we though lets try finding a certain one. First we tried drugs and couldn't find nothing that caught our eye right away. Not long after that our group was starting to doubt our selfs. Then just surfing the web, looking for anything we could use. I can across an article titled "Sport Misconduct". I showed the group and then it clicked in my head. We should focus on fighting in sports or sports misconduct. When we put that in the search engine, it was a hit. So we decided to do instead of suspension in sports, we are going to do fighting in sports
