    Brooklyn Law School BrooklynWorks Faculty Scholarship Summer 2004 Taking Pop-Ups Seriously: The urJ isprudence of the Infield lF y Rule Neil B. Cohen Brooklyn Law School, [email protected] S. W. Waller Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/faculty Part of the Common Law Commons, Other Law Commons, and the Rule of Law Commons Recommended Citation 82 Wash. U. L. Q. 453 (2004) This Article is brought to you for free and open access by BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Faculty Scholarship by an authorized administrator of BrooklynWorks. TAKING POP-UPS SERIOUSLY: THE JURISPRUDENCE OF THE INFIELD FLY RULE NEIL B. COHEN* SPENCER WEBER WALLER** In 1975, the University of Pennsylvania published a remarkable item. Rather than being deemed an article, note, or comment, it was classified as an "Aside." The item was of course, The Common Law Origins of the Infield Fly Rule.' This piece of legal scholarship was remarkable in numerous ways. First, it was published anonymously and the author's identity was not known publicly for decades. 2 Second, it was genuinely funny, perhaps one of the funniest pieces of true scholarship in a field dominated mostly by turgid prose and ineffective attempts at humor by way of cutesy titles or bad puns. Third, it was short and to the point' in a field in which a reader new to law reviews would assume that authors are paid by the word or footnote. Fourth, the article was learned and actually about something-how baseball's infield fly rule4 is consistent with, and an example of, the common law processes of rule creation and legal reasoning in the Anglo-American tradition.

  • Washington, Dc and the Mlb All-Star Game
    TEAM UP FEBRUARY TOUCH BASE 2021 WASHINGTON, DC AND THE MLB ALL-STAR GAME The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is also known as the “Midsummer Classic.” The game features the best players in the National League (NL) playing against the best players in the American League (AL). Fans choose the starting lineups; and a combination of players, coaches, and managers choose the rest of the players on the All-Star rosters. The game is played every year, usually on the second or third Tuesday in July. The very first All-Star Game was on July 6, 1933, at the home of the Chicago White Sox. Only two times since then has the game not been played — in 1945 due to World War II travel restrictions, and 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nationals Park and Washington, DC were at the center of the baseball universe in July 2018, serving as host of the 89th Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Remember all those festivities? This may come as a surprise, but that was actually the fifth time the All-Star Game was played in DC. Here is a little bit about each of the All-Star Games played in the Nation’s Capital. JULY 7, 1937 The 1937 Midsummer Classic, which was the fifth Major League Baseball All-Star Game, was played on July 7, at Griffith Stadium. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in attendance, making this the first All-Star Game to be played in front of a current President. The American League won the game 8-3, improving to 4 wins and 1 loss in the five games.

  • John W. Connor Formed the Brooklyn Royal Giants in 1904
    Early Pioneers of the Negro Leagues JohnW.Connor by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2017 Brooklyn Royal Giants John W. Connor formed the Brooklyn Royal Giants in 1904. During their first two years the Royal Giants were a good team but did not play at the level that Connor wanted for his team. To take his team to the next level John Connor signed Grant “Homerun” Johnson away from the Philadelphia Giants. Johnson became his starting short stop and the team’s manager. Johnson responded to Connor’s confidence in him on the field by consistently being one of the team’s top hitters and playing flawless defense. In the dugout as the team’s manager, Grant Johnson provided the leadership that would transform the Brooklyn Royal Giants into the best black baseball club in the East. Along with hiring Grant Johnson in 1906, Connor also signed the following players who had a significant impact on improving the ball club: Bill Monroe (2B), Jack Emery (P) and Billy Holland (P/OF). Brooklyn Royal Giants (1906) (Back row standing left to right – Bill Merritt, James Robinson, Grant “Home Run” Johnson, Lefty “Pop” Andrews, Al Robinson, Harry Brown and Eugene Milliner. Front row seated left to right – Andrew “Jap” Payne, W. “Nux” James, John W. Connor, Billy Holland and Charles “Kid” Carter.) John W. Connor was born in Portsmouth, Virginia on December 26, 1878. Growing up in Portsmouth which was a port city and had a very large U.S. Navy population fostered an interest in the Navy in a young John Connor.
