Eric Brownlee, sport management lecturer in kinesiology, was courted extensively by local media recently after catcher Joe Mauer signed an eight-year contract with the Twins. Brownlee talked about the economics of Mauer’s signing and the new Twins stadium in interviews with KSTP-TV, KARE-11, and the Minnesota News Network.
