Baseball’s Relocation Game

research inspiration for thesis: full article from WSJ

By JASON FRY | THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE

Baseball’s announcement that the Montreal Expos will move to Washington, D.C., for the 2005 season marks the first time a baseball team has moved since 1972 — when the second incarnation of the Washington Senators began their new lives as the Texas Rangers. But relocations aren’t exactly rare in the sport’s history.

The early years of the National League and the American League are a confusing welter of teams flickering out, merging and changing cities. But after the AL sorted itself out in the first years of the 1900s, no team would change cities for half a century. That changed in 1950s, when baseball finally began moving west and south, outgrowing its eastern railroad roots and catching up with population shifts in the U.S.

But the relocations of the 1950s opened owners’ eyes to the idea of greener pastures elsewhere. Suddenly, owners tired of old stadiums and dwindling attendance had a threat to brandish against city officials. And they used it — even when poor management and play might have been the real culprit for small crowds.

tips

15 graphic design interview tips

1. When you arrive in the interview give us your business card. It should be well designed, memorable, simple and hopefully have a great idea. It should be unique and you should be branded.
2. Have 8–12 pieces of work in your folio. Put the best pieces at the front and back.
3. Have at least six questions ready to ask (if you have less, you’ll find they will be answered in the course of the interview).
4. Take a pad and pen, take it out at the beginning of the interview. You don’t have to take notes, but it looks as if you are organized.
5. Talk about your work before you show it, but don’t talk too much. This should be one short sentence to engage the interviewer with you. We will be looking at you as you speak. Then show us your work.
6. Have samples and mock ups.
7. Bring sketches. We are as interested in how you got to the final solution as the solution itself. You can show other concepts.
8. Have a copy of your CV (resumé) at the back of the portfolio. Offer it even if we already have it.
9. On your CV don’t tell people about exam results or part-time jobs that have nothing to do with your chosen career. It pisses us off.
10. Don’t talk about holiday or money in a first interview.
11. Give a firm handshake.
12. Tell us you really want the job (believe it or not, hardly anyone does this).
13. Ask for our business card(s).
14. When you get back home, send an email thanking us for the interview.
15. Make sure your branding is consistent on your business card, CV and email signature.
16. One for luck: Remember, 80% of design students are crap. We see lots of CVs (95% of which are crap). If you can get into the top 20% you will get a job.
