The baseball trust a history of baseball's antitrust exemption / [electronic resource] : Stuart Banner. - New York : Oxford University Press, c2013. - 1 online resource (xv, 283 p.) : ill.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The impact of antitrust law on sports is in the news all the time, especially when there is labour 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. This book illuminates the series of court rulings that resulted in one of the most curious features of the US legal system: baseball's exemption from antitrust law.
