Using sport-specific information and relevant demographic, economic, and financial data, this brief will highlight when and how well these MLB teams performed and the financial status and significance of their organization as a member of an elite professional baseball league. The brief also investigates the success of teams in terms of wins and losses based on home attendance at their ballparks, market value, and revenue. Furthermore, it compares the history, productivity, and prosperity of the franchises among rivals in their division like the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets in the National League East Division, Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds in the Central Division, and Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants in the West Division. This brief will be on interest to practitioners and scholars who research the sports industry, college and university professors who teach undergraduate and graduate students majoring in sports administration, business, economics and management, and fans of the sport.   . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5504 606 $aSports?Economic aspects 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aSports Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W52000 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 606 $aEconomic Growth$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000 615 0$aSports?Economic aspects. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aSports Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 676 $a338.437960973 700 $aJozsa$b Frank$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0981408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254874403321 996 $aNational League Franchises: Team Performances Inspire Business Success$92240008 997 $aUNINA
