Summary:
The widespread use of illegal steroids among Major League Baseball players
has been fueled by an "economy of bodily management," the free agent
market and exploding television revenues, a labor and disability historian
argues in a newly published research paper.

The widespread use of illegal steroids among Major League Baseball players
has been fueled by an "economy of bodily management," the free agent
market and exploding television revenues, a UT Arlington assistant
professor argues in a newly published research paper.
.
Sarah Rose, a labor and disability historian, says by attacking individual
ballplayers' morality, commentators have obscured the more salient issue.

Rose is the co-author of a new article "Bionic Ballplayers: Risk, Profit,
and the Body as Commodity, 1964-2007" published in the journal LABOR:
Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas. Her co-author is Joshua
A. T. Salzmann, assistant professor of history at Northeastern Illinois
University.
.
The researchers found that while the league minimum salary remained at
$6,000 between 1954 and 1967, players' average salaries soared to $16,000
in the mid-1960s. Teams paid these increasing salaries out of funds newly
attained through television revenue. Between 1964 and 1979, revenues from
television contracts rose from $21 million to $54 million.
.
During this time, players and owners investigated new ways to preserve
and, eventually, enhance players' bodies.
.

"Enticed by the prospect of riches, players and teams harnessed fitness
training, reconstructive surgery, biomechanical analysis and
performance-enhancing drugs to reduce wear and tear on players' bodies
and, ultimately, radically alter them for profit," Rose and Salzmann
concluded in the paper. "This interplay between economic incentives and
medicine created what we call bionic ballplayers: bigger, stronger, and at
times, more fragile than their predecessors."
