Going Off The Grid: MLB Team Execs Weigh In On Baseball Biz & Pop Culture

A survey of sports execs offering their opinions on a handful of pressing (and trivial) issues in sports and pop culture. This week, a peek inside MLB front offices:

• Yankees Senior VP & Assistant GM Jean Afterman
  – Devours pop culture, from low-brow to high-brow and everything in between.
• Dodgers VP/Ticket Sales David Siegel
  – Living in L.A. makes it impossible to stay uninformed.
• Twins Exec VP/Business Development Laura Day
  – Loves everything pop culture, but has a hard time keeping up.
• Brewers VP/Consumer Marketing Jim Bathey 
  – Keeps up with whatever his 13-year-old daughter is into at the moment.
