Media Release
BOCA RATON, FLA – 09.08.08 – MLN Sports announced that its September cover story, \”Keep Your Ball on the I.\” was published at the digital magazine SZ. earlier today. The baseball business feature examines the push by the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (the NA) to bring all of their teams\’ websites on to MiLB.com, the power struggle in what may be the the NA\’s final battle in over a century to maintain its margin of independence from MLB, and the turf war over the creation of a holding company for MiLB.com called \”BIRCO.\”
Why are the stakes so high that they could change the game? What is really driving the creation of BIRCO, beyond the Internet? Will there be enough clubs to make BIRCO happen when the NA\’s deadline passes on September 15th, 2008?
MLN Sports examines the issues behind the birth of BIRCO, the most significant event in the business of the game since MLB rolled out the farm system in the 1930s.
