« Back to Women in Sports main page    Related Programs for: Women in SportsHere are some previous Think Tank programs that may be of interest.Bill James, Beyond Baseball (aired 7/28/2005) In the last few years, the success of teams like the LA Dodgers, the Oakland A’s, and of course the miraculous Boston Red Sox has been credited to a new scientific way of looking at baseball. It’s called Sabermetrics, and it is changing the way we look at baseball and professional sports. How does it work? And are there wider implications beyond the world of sports? Opting Out - Mothers and the Workforce (aired 2/19/2004) Many women who came of age in the politically charged 1960s and 1970s fought for equal standing in the workplace, both for themselves and for their daughters. But now it seems many successful and well-qualified women are rejecting the fast track for the so-called mommy track. Choosing to leave the workplace for full-time parenting at home. What’s going on? Is the workplace failing to meet the needs of working mothers? Or is stay at home motherhood now being seen as just one of many life choices? Professional Sports (aired 5/15/1999) American cities are spending billions of dollars to lure or keep their professional sports teams, and many people are beginning to ask, is it worth it? Should Cities Play Ball with Professional Sports? (aired 1/22/1998) Professional sports franchises have a powerful hold on a community, providing not just entertainment but a sense of identity and importance. How Different Are Men and Women? (aired 7/14/1995) Do men and women think differently? If so, could these differences be inherent in our genetic makeup and in our brains? What implications would that have for women? And what would it mean for men?
