Reviews
Surdam's book represents the best and probably the only solid study of major-league baseball's economic situation during the Depression. --Dorothy Seymour Mills, New York Journal of Books --Dorothy Seymour Mills New York Journal of Books (06/01/2011)
Surdam's book represents the best and probably the only solid study of major-league baseball's economic situation during the Depression. -Dorothy Seymour Mills, New York Journal of Books| With the American economy struggling, major-league baseball attendance falling for the fourth consecutive year and the Los Angeles Dodgers in bankruptcy, David George Surdam's Wins, Losses, and Empty Seats about the game's Depression-era troubles is certainly timely. Mr. Surdam, who teaches economics at the University of Northern Iowa, comes to his task armed with a fan's enthusiasm, an economist's tool kit and a certain dissatisfaction with previous analyses-including my own-of the evolution of the baseball business. -Henry D. Fetter, Wall Street Journal
