Baseball's Antitrust Exemption: Court Cases and the Ongoing Debate

This chapter explores a series of court cases related to baseball and antitrust laws, including the landmark Supreme Court decision in 1922 and the more recent Flood Against Cune case. It discusses the exemption of baseball from antitrust laws, the Kurt Flood Act of 1998, and the recent Supreme Court ruling involving the NCAA. The chapter also examines a case involving minor league baseball teams and their claim of a violation of the Sherman Act, raising the question of whether the Supreme Court will take up the case and the potential implications of stripping baseball of its antitrust exemption.
