  • Pine Tar and the Infield Fly Rule: an Umpire’S Perspective on the Hart-Dworkin Jurisprudential Debate
    Pine Tar and the Infield Fly Rule: An Umpire’s Perspective on the Hart-Dworkin Jurisprudential Debate William D. Blake, Ph.D.1 Assistant Professor Department of Political Science Indiana University, Indianapolis (IUPUI) [email protected] Abstract: What is law? Though on its face this question seems simple, it remains an incredibly controversial one to legal theorists. One prominent jurisprudential debate of late occurred between H.L.A. Hart, a positivist, and Ronald Dworkin, an interpretivist. While positivism, at its core, holds the law is a set of authoritative commands, Dworkin rejects this reflexive approach and instructs judges to incorporate and advance communal norms and morals in their decisions. In baseball, umpires utilize both legal theories, depending on the type of rule they are asked to interpret or enforce. I conclude that, like umpires, most citizens are not dogmatic about either legal theory. 1 I wish to thank Justice George Nicholson of the California Court of Appeal for encouraging my participation at this Symposium. I am eternally grateful to former Major Leaguer Jim Abbott for taking the time to respond to my questions. Finally, to the 13 year-old pitcher whom I discuss in this paper: your courage and enthusiasm are inspiring, but, for Pete's sake, please practice coming set. Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2403586 Bill Klem, one of the 2 first umpires inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, once wrongly called a runner out at home plate. A lucky newspaper photographer snapped a shot, which demonstrated Klem’s mistake. The next day, reporters demanded to know how the batter could be out in light of the incontrovertible photographic evidence.

  • New York Yankees: Is Aaron Judge the Next Derek Jeter?
    New York Yankees: Is Aaron Judge the Next Derek Jeter? Author : There's not a single player in baseball this year that has been more exciting than New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge. His historic rookie season has been fun to watch not only for Yankees fans but baseball fans in general. He's a team leader that puts his teammates first, he performs when the team needs him most, and he's almost single-handedly making Yankees baseball exciting again. Sound familiar? Of course it does. Let's take a trip down memory lane to 1996. The Yankees were 17 years removed from their last World Series win. A very long time for a franchise like the Yankees. They broke their playoff drought in 1995 but still lacked key pieces to put them back on top. They found that key piece in a 22-year-old Derek Jeter. You may have heard of him. 1 / 3 Jeter's rookie season in 1996 was something Yankee fans had been waiting for for years. He hit .314 with ten homers, 104 runs scored, and 78 RBI, helping him receive all 28 first-place votes in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. He batted leadoff throughout the 1996 postseason. I'm sure everyone remembers the infamous "Jeffrey Maier home run" in Game 1 of the ALCS. Jeter would go on to bat .361 throughout the postseason and helped the Yankees defeat the Braves and win their first World Series Title since 1978. Jeter brought the fun back to that Yankees team.

  • Ruttm An, Larry. American Jews and America's Game
    R u t t m a n , L a r r y . American Jews and America's Game: Voices o f a Growing Legacy in Base­ ball. Foreward by B ud Selig. Lincoln: University o f Nebraska Press, 2013. Pp. xxxii+510. Illustrations, bibliography, and index. $34.95 cb. A large, ambitious, and deeply personal work, this book attempts to define the Jewish- American experience through the prism of baseball. With sections organized around de­ cades, American Jews and America's Game ranges from the 1930s to the present. Original face-to-face interviews, conducted in venues as disparate as Rancho Mirage, Phoenix, Manhattan, Cooperstown, Boston, Baltimore, Kissimmee, and Tel Aviv, provide the core content. Telling photographs, many taken by the author, burnish the commentary. Baseball’s attraction for Jews, the varieties of Jewish baseball experience, anti-Semitism, evolving Jewish identity, relations between the generations, and the future of American Jewry re­ ceive significant attention. Passionate and determined, Larry Ruttman, attorney, adult education teacher, regional writer, and baseball enthusiast, commenced the five-year mis­ sion that culminated in American Jews and America's Game after the age o f seventy. Ruttmans visceral connection to the subject matter colors the presentation. By con­ trast, in The Glory o f Their Times: The Story o f the Early Days o f Baseball Told by the Men Who Played I t (1966), the most acclaimed oral history of the game, editor Lawrence S. Ritter defers to the voices of his interviewees. Save for his preface, elimination of certain material, and some sequential rearrangement, Ritter, largely confining his role to that of catalyst and compiler, displays editorial restraint.
