Abstract

Major league baseball, unlike other professional sports in theUnited States, has been exempt from antitrust laws for nearlya century. The reason lies with early state and federal courtdecisions, of which the most frequently cited is the SupremeCourt's Federal Baseball Club of Baltimore v. National Leagueopinion, authored by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in 1922.Baseball's legal status has been the subject of numerous lawreview articles and commentaries, historical narratives, andscholarly analyses. Nevertheless, Jerold Duquette claims thatthere has been no integrated and comprehensive examinationof "baseball's unregulated monopoly."
