The material goes considerably beyond the title, as only one chapter actually treats of near earth objects [NEO's] at depth, and I am still confused over the author's distinction between "amateur" and "professional" astronomers. With those caveats in mind, ...             Baseball and Billions: A Probing Look Inside the Business of Our National Pastime4 reviews Andrew Zimbalist Basic Books, 1994 Insight into business of professional baseball Very interesting insight into the economics that drive the business side of baseball.
