The House That Ruth Built, Gregory M. Stein Jan 2003

The House That Ruth Built, Gregory M. Stein

Scholarly Works

Yankee Stadium may be scheduled for demolition at the end of the 2008 baseball season, but the storied ballpark will live on in the memories of all baseball fans. "The House That Ruth Built" examines the legal history of the Yankees in their four New York homes: Hilltop Park, the Polo Grounds, Shea Stadium, and Yankee Stadium.

This chapter, which describes a variety of real estate law issues the Yankees have faced, focuses on Yankee Stadium itself. Designed to be baseball's first true showplace, the Stadium was huge, luxurious, and fireproof, which differentiated it radically from the other parks in …

Before The Flood: The History Of Baseball’S Antitrust Exemption, Roger Abrams Mar 1999

Before The Flood: The History Of Baseball’S Antitrust Exemption, Roger Abrams

Roger I. Abrams

This article addresses the historical anomaly of baseball’s exemption from the federal antitrust laws. Starting with Justice Holmes’ opinion in the 1922 Federal Baseball case, the article criticizes the Supreme Court’s rigid adherence to stare decisis despite considerable changes in the legal and economic context. Ultimately, in the Curt Flood case the Court acknowledges the error of its previous ways, but stubbornly refuses to correct the law, leaving to Congress the ultimate power to revise a half century of judicial errors.

Baseball And The Rule Of Law, Paul Finkelman Jan 1998

Baseball And The Rule Of Law, Paul Finkelman

Cleveland State Law Review

Most cultures have a new year of some kind; a season of beginning. For lawyers who are baseball fans, there are two beginnings, two seasons. The first season begins in April, and begins to wind down in October. That is of course, the baseball season. But, with baseball finished, we can turn to the Court, and watch it with a keen eye. The Court's season continues to build to its climax in the Spring. Just as the baseball season is beginning its slow opening, the Court overwhelms us in the spring with what sometimes seems to be an avalanche of …

New Direction For Team Ownership? The Memphis Redbirds Baseball Foundation, Lloyd Hitoshi Mayer, Craig A. Sharon

Consider every loyal sports fan’s worst nightmare. Your community invests millions of dollars to keep a professional sports team in town.

Rumors that the team will be sold or moved begin to circulate. Then the team calls a press conference to announce that it will be moving to …
