Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr are joined by longtime Boston radio personality Mike Lynch to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including lessons from Taiwan's top professional baseball league, which just finished the first week of its regular season. The teams in Taiwan are playing in empty stadiums, with mannequins, rock music and robot drummers helping enhance the atmosphere. All told there are 150-200 people in the stadium at one time, and players are allowed to live with their families -- though the league has said it will halt play if one person associated with the game tests positive. Also talked about is UFC's new plan to host three events in Florida in early May, and Roger Federer adding his voice to the chorus of people who think the men's and women's tennis tours should combine their business interests.
