The past 25 years have been the most dynamic in the history of Major League Baseball, from the leagues recovery after the players strike to the growth of analytics and the rise of new World Series contenders.In The Reshaping of Americas Game: Major League Baseball after the Players Strike, Bryan Soderholm-Difatte reflects on the factors and challenges that have changed major league baseball since the 1994-1995 players strike. He examines the consolidation of power in the Commissioners Office, the influx of Latin and Asian players, the boom in new stadiums, the influence of analytics in reshaping how rosters are constructed, the relationship between managers and the front office, and the rise of the power-game between pitchers and batters that has led to unprecedented strikeout and home run totals. While Major League Baseball continues to develop and grow, the league has had to grapple with repeated steroids scandals, the struggle of small-market teams to remain competitive, and the forever unfinished business between players and owners over free agency and fair compensation. The Reshaping of Americas Game provides a detailed and intriguing review of the many issues affecting the national pastime during the liveliest years in MLB history. The Reshaping of Americas Game, together with Soderholm-Difattes Americas Game, Tumultuous Times in Americas Game, and Americas Game in the Wild-Card Era, form the authors complete, definitive history of Major League Baseball.
