If you have research on the Business of Baseball that you would like to publish in OTL, please contact me.  Our view of the Business of Baseball is that anything that happens outside the lines is game.  We are interested in high-quality research and writing.

If you have an idea and want to see if we are interested, just email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The earlier you get things to me the better, in case I want to suggest changes or request clarifications.
