“Will Big League Baseball Survive” with Lincoln Mitchell

Globalization, the End of Television, Youth Sports, and the Future of Major League Baseball

In his shrewd analysis — “Will Big League Baseball Survive?” — Lincoln Mitchell asks whether the sport will continue in its current form as a huge, lucrative global business that offers a monopoly in North America and whether those structures are sustainable.

Mitchell places baseball in the context of the larger, evolving American and global entertainment sector. He examines how both changes directly related to baseball — including youth sports and the increased globalization of the game — and broader societal trends, such as developments in media consumption and celebrity culture, will impact big league baseball over the next few decades.

Join Lincoln Mitchell for our intimate Clubhouse conversation on Thursday, December 1.

RSVP required to attend. Autographed and personalized copies of “Will Big League Baseball Survive” will be available for purchase. The author will sign only books purchased in the Clubhouse.

Lincoln Mitchell is a scholar and writer based in New York City. He was on the faculty of Columbia University for many years and has contributed to numerous publications, including the “Washington Quarterly,” the “American Interest,” “World Affairs Journal,” the “Washington Post,” and the “New York Times.”
