I wonder how hard it is to pull an A in this class.

I believe Loras also has a class on the Cubs.

When I entered Marquette there was a class on the history of baseball.  I'm disappointed they don't have it anymore as I would like to take it my final semester with some credits to kill.

Step 1: Overpay players to bring excitement that this year will be their year
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!.... errr disappointment.


sorry, had to... I won't hate on the Cubs anymore, but I feel that my diagram of the Cubs franchise summed up in a way the Underpants Gnomes could understand is worth an A.

It's offered every few years as a capstone or seminar course.  My sister took it her senior year in 2003, it was taught by a law professor, and it mostly covered labor relations and the business infrastructure of the game.  Very dry, and in a sense, rather wasteful, considering there's so much to say about baseball's role in American social history.
