Baseball for Small Business and a Sports Business event

Since opening day is just around the corner, Wait it's today!, I wanted to post a little reference to a nice article currently on Inc. magazine's site about small businesses that are servicing big league baseball teams. The article focuses on businesses providing everything from protection netting to biodiesel recycling at Turner Field, the home of the Braves. It's just nice to know that the all American sport provides a great number of jobs to small businesses. It is the American way after all.

I also wanted to give a shout out to my local business school club which is hosting a stellar panel discussion among renowned sports business executives in Chicago on April 23rd. The Ross Alumni Club of Chicago, local home of the graduates of the University of Michigan Business School, is hosting it's 6th annual Spring Conference, a dinner discussion around the topic of Sports Business; for the love (or profit?) of the game; with open online registration (with full details) currently ongoing. It's open to grads and friends (e.g. the general public) as long as tickets are available, get yours now for this exciting event!
