The Necessity of Major League Baseball's Antitrust Exemption
PROTECTING AMERICA’S PASTIME: THE NECESSITY OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL’S ANTITRUST EXEMPTION FOR THE SURVIVAL OF MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL BRADLEY V. MURPHY* INTRODUCTION “How can you not be romantic about baseball?”1 Imagine a warm summer evening in Rome, Georgia. This city of just under 36,000 residents2 is home to the Rome Braves, the Class-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.3 State Mutual Stadium is filled to capacity as the local residents pack the stands to cheer on their hometown Braves.4 The smell of peanuts, popcorn, and hotdogs emanates throughout the stadium. A beer vendor climbs up and down the stadium steps hollering, “Ice cold beer!” Between innings, children are brought out on the field to partake in on-field promotions. After the game, these same children line up to run the bases, meet the mascot, and enjoy the postgame firework display. This minor league game brings the people of Rome, Georgia together and provides them with a common identity. Bradley Reynolds, general manager of the Double-A Mobile BayBears, highlighted the importance of minor league baseball when he said, “What keeps fans coming back isn’t baseball. If they want a better baseball game, they can see it on ESPN. This is about affordability, family fun, wholesome entertainment. That’s what makes this business unique and what makes it work.”5 Considered to be “America’s National Pastime,”6 baseball holds a special place in the hearts of many. In “Field of Dreams,” arguably the most famous baseball movie of all- time, Terence Mann, an author played by James Earl Jones, discussed the importance of baseball to many Americans: * J.D.

Truck Day Marks Beginning of Journey for Tribe Indians' Longtime Driver
Truck Day marks beginning of journey for Tribe Indians' longtime driver Fisher has trip down to science to help team prepare for Spring Training By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | February 3rd, 2017 CLEVELAND -- Ed Fisher looks forward to this day every offseason. The Indians' longtime driver knows that when he pulls out of Progressive Field, his truck emblazoned with Cleveland's logo on the trailer packed to the gills with baseball equipment and more, his journey to Arizona marks the beginning of the Tribe's journey through the season. "I like being a part of it," Fisher said. "I really do." On Friday morning, Fisher and his crew were busy in the bowels of the ballpark, stuffing a pair of 53-foot trucks with items that the Indians require for Spring Training. The trucks were set to embark on the three-day trek to Goodyear, Ariz., where the Tribe's staff is aiming to unload the semis on Tuesday to help the players get started out in the desert. The trucks are filled with bikes, weight-room equipment, personal belongings of players and staff, sunflower seeds, bottled water and much more. There was one pallet of gum, which may or may not have been only for Cleveland manager Terry Francona. When the trucks were nearly full, Francona did have one very important item rolled into the back of one of the trailers. "We need the scooter!" yelled an Indians clubhouse worker. A few minutes later, another team employee zipped through the tunnel on Tito's black moped. Things have changed a lot for the Tribe's clubhouse crew since the days when the team trained in Winter Haven, Fla.
