本研究之目的主要在探討王建民對台灣運動觀光產業之影響。透過相關文獻之探討擬定訪談大綱與問卷，並經由專家審視內容以進行效度檢核；研究者親自前往紐約洋基球場，以攔截訪談與問卷調查的方式蒐集所需資料。結果發現台灣棒球迷以男性佔多數，年齡則大多在20 至40 歲之間，英語能力普遍較佳，屬高社經地位族群。台灣棒球迷對王建民受傷耿耿於懷，未能親眼看到他上場投球感到惋惜與遺憾，但是對洋基隊比賽的場館環境與現場氣氛相當滿意。旅遊業者籌組王建民加油團的阻礙因素，主要有王建民賽程難掌握、門票取得困難、宣傳時間有限、行程安排難掌握等。總之旅遊業者認為王建民開發了前往美國觀賞美國職棒大聯盟的這塊商機，可以為旅遊業者拓展客源，也增加旅遊行程的多樣性。
