Download or read book Baseball on Trial written by Nathaniel Grow and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversial 1922 Federal Baseball Supreme Court ruling held that the "business of base ball" was not subject to the Sherman Antitrust Act because it did not constitute interstate commerce. In Baseball on Trial, legal scholar Nathaniel Grow defies conventional wisdom to explain why the unanimous Supreme Court opinion authored by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, which gave rise to Major League Baseball's exemption from antitrust law, was correct given the circumstances of the time. Currently a billion dollar enterprise, professional baseball teams crisscross the country while the games are broadcast via radio, television, and internet coast to coast. The sheer scope of this activity would seem to embody the phrase "interstate commerce." Yet baseball is the only professional sport--indeed the sole industry--in the United States that currently benefits from a judicially constructed antitrust immunity. How could this be? Drawing upon recently released documents from the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Grow analyzes how the Supreme Court reached this seemingly peculiar result by tracing the Federal Baseball litigation from its roots in 1914 to its resolution in 1922, in the process uncovering significant new details about the proceedings. Grow observes that while interstate commerce was measured at the time by the exchange of tangible goods, baseball teams in the 1910s merely provided live entertainment to their fans, while radio was a fledgling technology that had little impact on the sport. The book ultimately concludes that, despite the frequent criticism of the opinion, the Supreme Court's decision was consistent with the conditions and legal climate of the early twentieth century.

Book The Baseball Trust

Download or read book The Baseball Trust written by Stuart Banner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of antitrust law on sports is in the news all the time, especially when there is labor conflict between players and owners, or when a team wants to move to a new city. And if the majority of Americans have only the vaguest sense of what antitrust law is, most know one thing about it-that baseball is exempt. In The Baseball Trust, legal historian Stuart Banner illuminates the series of court rulings that resulted in one of the most curious features of our legal system-baseball's exemption from antitrust law. A serious baseball fan, Banner provides a thoroughly entertaining history of the game as seen through the prism of an extraordinary series of courtroom battles, ranging from 1890 to the present. The book looks at such pivotal cases as the 1922 Supreme Court case which held that federal antitrust laws did not apply to baseball; the 1972 Flood v. Kuhn decision that declared that baseball is exempt even from state antitrust laws; and several cases from the 1950s, one involving boxing and the other football, that made clear that the exemption is only for baseball, not for sports in general. Banner reveals that for all the well-documented foibles of major league owners, baseball has consistently received and followed antitrust advice from leading lawyers, shrewd legal advice that eventually won for baseball a protected legal status enjoyed by no other industry in America. As Banner tells this fascinating story, he also provides an important reminder of the path-dependent nature of the American legal system. At each step, judges and legislators made decisions that were perfectly sensible when considered one at a time, but that in total yielded an outcome-baseball's exemption from antitrust law-that makes no sense at all.

Book excerpt: PLEASE NOTE: This book is available only as an ebook. Print copies are not available. To view or download the 2019 Supplement to this book, click here. Antitrust Law is a practical casebook using (1) enforcement agency materials, (2) modern case law, and (3) hypothetical problems to train law students to counsel clients, lobby enforcement agencies, and argue to courts. It fully explores the Rule of Reason and per se doctrines as they are understood today, including remedial issues and the conduct necessary to establish a naked or an integrated antitrust agreement. It then addresses the increasingly important limits on antitrust relating to (1) standing and competitive injury; (2) free speech; (3) government regulation; and (4) labor relations. Finally, it examines how the courts apply antitrust law in the context of intellectual property and amateur and professional sports. United States antitrust law has a rich history and a tradition of stimulating in-depth economic analysis. These topics understandably dominate most casebooks. Unfortunately, a typical introductory antitrust class is not long enough to cover history and modern application. And typical law students -- like most judges and even enforcement agency lawyers -- do not have the background necessary to appreciate nuanced economic analysis. Antitrust Law uses historical materials to illustrate on-going practical problems, and it explains economic concepts in plain language giving students just what they need to enter the practice as antitrust lawyers. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.
