David Klineberg,
AS’00
If you have an idea for an alumnus/a to spotlight, contact Steve Daly in the Office of Alumni Relations. |
In a world filled with sports fans that second-guess virtually every managerial move or in-game decision, this may be the ultimate fantasy sports opportunity. Want to have a unique say in the operation of a baseball franchise? Northeastern alumnus David Klineberg may have the perfect opportunity for you.
Klineberg, who graduated in 2000 with a degree in journalism, and his three business partners recently launched Our Baseball Haven, an initiative aimed at acquiring a professional or amateur team, relocating it to the New Haven, CT, area, and paying all operating costs through membership dues. For a $100 annual investment, members will be part of the new media concept of “crowdsourcing,” in which most day-to-day operational decisions are made via majority vote. Everything from the team name and logo to lineup changes and player transactions will be voted on.
