Lets start with the story of Babe Ruth. The “Babe” used to come to every at bat with the desire to win the game. So early in the game, aware that at the end of the game it would fall on him to win the game, the “Babe” would deliberately strike out on pitches that he really could hit. Later in the game, the pitcher would remember the pitches that had gotten the “Babe” out and “Babe Ruth” could hit with ease, winning the game defying the statisticians.
So, Babe Ruth used sports analytics in the 1930’s in reverse, hoping to entice the pitcher to throw that very pitch he could hit in a tight situation later in the game. His very success illustrates that in sports analytics sophistication is needed. For sports analytics to track Babe Ruth, it would have been necessary to look at the pitches he could hit at the end of the game, not just everything that came at him. How sophisticated is that? You have to know your players to do good sports analytics.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

this examination will the highlight the successful features of a press release. Also, it will compare

Importance of Public Relations
Public relations has become a key focus over the past twenty years; especially with the creation of the internet.
Now that consumers have constant access to varying viewpoints and information, it is important for companies
to maintain in contact with their audience.
This mentality holds true, not only for large corporations, but also for sports franchises. Because sports teams
rely so heavily on their fan base for income, it is fundamental to appear in touch with the fans. This goal is
achieved is through various public relations efforts. Most effectively and effortlessly is the press release.
Press Release Purpose
The purpose of a press release is to communicate something news ―Now we are all exposed

3. Spotlight: Press Release Audience
Because press releases are utilized as a way to attract favorable media attention, the main audience is media
outlets. Press releases provide reporters with a basic outline needed to develop a news story. Typically, press
releases are geared towards news outlets in hopes of generating a feature story.
Sports press releases are also geared towards media outlets. However, for sports related reasons, they are not
geared only towards local and national news outlets. Sports press releases aim to reach sports networks. This
commonly includes certain networks, such as ESPN or Comcast Sports Net. By doing this, news is able to
reach a local and national audience while most importantly reaching the most extreme sports fans.

Release Content
A sports related press release can appear very limited in content. The
length itself is noticeably short which translates into restricted
information. Specifically for sports press releases, the information only
covers a few key areas of the athlete (because this is addressing player acquisition). In addressing a new player
gain, press releases focus on a few specific areas that are of most importance in the sports world. These areas
are typically: the athletes’ college, number of games played, their previous team(s), and their current statistics
(batting average, tackles made, or goals scored). Along with this is also a picture of the athlete, whether it an
individual team photo or an action shot can differ.

4. Going One on One with Document Design and Format
Press releases, like other formal documents, have a clearly
stated format. Some of the most common structural elements

first need to work at it. This in- of a press release include: headline, dateline, introduction,
depth look at design and format body, close, and media contact information. Though certain

-J. Braner this information is pretty standard in the creation of a press
release.
When analyzing this genre, there are basic structural features present throughout. Each analyzed press release
contains an obvious headline, the date, an introduction to the player acquisition, a body paragraph with
information about the players’ career, closing information about the player, and a link to the franchises public
relations department.
Knowing these guidelines, there is also a standard length to press releases. Press releases, especially those
related to sports are notably short in length. This allows for the basic, necessary information to be provided
without any frills; an attribute that compliments the perception of sports. The Blackhawks and White Sox press
releases that were analyzed were no longer than two full paragraphs. Because the Bears press releases provided
more personal information, it was noticeably longer; however it was only a page long- and this is considered
extensive.
5. Sentence Structure

information, such as statistics, easy to gather and understand.
Diction & Language
The diction utilized in the examined press releases is predominately jargon. Because the subject is sports, the
press releases include statistics and other information related to sports; such as batting average, penalty minutes,
individual points and sacks. These are industry terms that are inaccessible to anyone who does not watch
sports. At the same time, the overall language of the releases is both formal and professional. Though words
have a jargon connotation, they are significant to subject matter. The trade acquisitions are detailed extremely
objectively and by qualified sports writers.

However, the main difference was length; specifically
in terms of the Bears press release. I propose that this
length is utilized purposefully as a way to create a full
story for fans. Because the Bears player acquired in
this trade was to be a starter, the Bears knowingly
included information in order to justify their move.
