"An empirical analysis of the economic impact of the Major League Baseball's post-season on host-city economies from 1972-2000 suggests that any economic benefits from post-season appearances are small or non-existent. An examination of 129 playoff series finds that any increases in economic growth as a result of the playoffs are not statistically significantly different than zero and that a best guess of the economic impact is $6.8 million per home game. As a general method of economic development, public subsidisation of a baseball team's attempt to reach the World Series in order to reap a city-wide financial windfall should be seen as a gamble at best."
