White Sox boss tells how to stay in black
By Liz Chadwick Kansan staff writer
Jerry Reindschof is a man with a mission, and that mission is to get baseball back in the black.
The fact that basketball superstar Michael Jordan signed up for the White Sox farm team may aid him in this endeavor. Reinsdorf said however, that obstacles in the form of sportswriters and the baseball player's union helped keep baseball in
Reinsdorf, head of the NBA's Chicago Bulls and Major League Baseball's Chicago White Sox, spoke to a nearly full house at the Lied Center last night about the frustrations of trying to make baseball profitable.
"A free press is a high price to pay for democracy," Reinsdorf said. "When the first amendment was developed, there was no sports page, so the constitution is not extended to sports-writers."
Jerry Reinsdorf, head of the Chicago Bulls and White Sox, speaks on the business of sports at the Lied Center. Reinsdorf spoke last night as a part of the J.A. Vickers Sr. Memorial Lecture series.

He said that sportswriters had told him how to run his business but that they were not accountable for the advice they had tried to dole out.
Reindorf said the baseball players' unions were as outmoded as old-fashioned trade unions for steel and automobile workers.
However, unlike any other industry, he said the player's union didn't negotiate salaries: It only negotiated benefits.
"The union leaders are not responsible to the rank and file," Reinsdorf said. "Ten percent of the players earned 60 percent of the salaries paid to the teams."
There have been some changes in baseball that Reinsdorf said could help the sport make more money. He said there was a new arrangement with ABC and NBC television that would broadcast almost all ballgames at night.
One of the main differences between the profitability of basketball and baseball, Reinsdorf said, was the farm system of developing baseball players as opposed to recruiting basketball players from college teams.
"Virtually all baseball players are not ready to do the job they are hired for," he said. "It takes three to five years to train a player. We spend $9 to $10 million a year on player development. When you hire a basketball player, he's ready to go."
He also stated that basketball players were more cooperative with owners than baseball players.
"If you ask a basketball player to do some promotional work, he asks you What time do you want me there?"
Reinsdorf said, "You ask a baseball player, and he drags his feet."
"Maybe it's because baseball is a more mental sport than basketball," he said. "There's a mind game that goes on between the pitcher and the hitter. If the player is too satisfied with his money, it takes away his incentive to win."
Reinsdorf said that, for some reason, signing a baseball player to a long-term contract usually resulted in poor playing.
