(Who Paid How Much & When)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Owners chronicles all the owners of America's "big three" professional sports teams (NFL-Football, NBA-Basketball and MLB-Baseball) from 1920 to present. The focus is on who they are or were, how they made their fortune, and how their team performed under their ownership reign.

It is a book about yesterday's millionaires and today's billionaires dabbling in the exciting arena of professional sports-team-ownership. Which owners built dynasties? Who were the original founders? Why did teams relocate from city to city? Who got in trouble with the law? These are some of the topics that make this book unique and interesting to both the business and sports audience.

Autorenporträt

William F. (Bill) Beermann is an entrepreneur and author who merges his passion for business and sports through his writing. A Pittsburgh native, he excelled in sports (baseball, basketball, and volleyball) and went to Davidson College on a basketball scholarship. His business career began in the advertising and graphic design business in New York City. In 1973, he co-founded an international stock photography agency which grew from scratch to become one of the largest agencies in the world. After selling the business, he turned his attention to small business consulting and writing. An avid sports fan, Beermann was drawn to the business side of sports and became enamored with the people who became owners of professional sports franchises which resulted in the writing and publication of this book. He also wrote and published, POUNCE - How Not To Lose Your Ass Betting Pro Football (My 50 Years Betting the NFL). His first novel, The Odd Hour, which he started in 2007, is in its eighth re-write (gasp) but is scheduled for publication in 2018. "I had to put the novel aside for a while because I couldn't get it quite right. So I started to write non-fiction about subjects I knew," Beermann said. He has three children and resides in Long Island, New York with his Maltese dog, "Gracie." When not writing, he spends time reading, playing golf or bridge, and wagering on pro football. He sits on the Board of Visitors of Davidson College and recently served as Executive Director of the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation in Greenwich, CT.
