"Touch" MLB Clothing for Women

Major League Baseball just recently announced a brand new clothing line for women, in tandem with star actress Alyssa Milano. This new clothing line is stylish and designed for women baseball fans who until now haven't had a real seperate line of clothing for baseball apparel.

This new clothing line indicates the growth in female fans to major league baseball in particular but female fans are also growing in other sports. This growth is important for teams to recognize as it is a potential untapped revenue stream.

MLB.TV

Often times fans are on the go or away from their local area, not being able to watch their favorite team. Major League Baseball has tried to remedy this problem with their service MLB.TV.

MLB.TV allows fans from out of market areas to watch their favorite team through a streaming webcast on their computers. In recent years the quality of this product has greatly increased, making it a much more feasable option for baseball fans.

MLB.TV was the first service of its kind to offer fans around the world access to watch games from around the country. The NBA and NHL and NCAA have recently followed with their own similar services.

The MLB.TV service costs 119.95 for a full year at a premium subscription, a higher bandwith broadcast. It costs 89.95 for a full year of a lower bandwith broadcast.

NFL Draft

The NFL Draft is one of the biggest sporting events of the year. College players get drafted by NFL teams and often the top picks sign very lucrative contracts.

One of the top players in this years draft. Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn was expected to be a top 10 pick. Many teams passed on Quinn because he had what they considered to be a subpar senior year.

Quarterbacks are often the most important player for a franchise. With all of the teams passing on Quinn it is estimated that he lost around 10 million dollars in guaranteed money by slipping from the top to number 22 where he was selected by the Cleveland Browns.

Quinn's slip shows just how much money can be involved in professional sports and how much of a difference money wise a player gets when selected in the top 10 as opposed to the top 25.
