  • Fun Facts About Colorado Baseball and Coors Field
    Fun facts about Colorado Baseball and Coors Field By Roger Harris Denver has been a baseball town for many years. In 1862 the “Denvers” played at George Tebeau field, in 1887 the Philadelphia Phillies became the first big league team to play in Denver. In 1901 the Denver team was called the Bears and won 3 league titles. Then in 1917 professional baseball disappeared from Denver. Various Denver Bears teams were in Denver 1922-1932, Then Triple AAA baseball came to Denver in 1955. Many of you remember that Denver was home of the minor league Triple AAA Denver Bears for many years. What you might not know is that the Denver Bears were the Kansas City Blues from 1901-1954. They were pushed out of KC when a major American League team, the Philadelphia Athletics moved to KC. The Blues moved to Denver in 1955 and became the Denver Bears. The team mostly played at Mile High Stadium but most knew it as “Bears Stadium”. In 1985 the team changed it name to the Denver Zephyrs (named after the famous passenger train that traveled from Chicago to San Francisco through the Rockies). In 1993 the major National League Colorado Rockies expansion team came to Colorado. In 1994 the Zephyrs moved to New Orleans where they remained the Zephyrs until 2017 when they were rebranded the Baby Cakes. Kind of a takeoff on King Cakes and Marti Gras. The Baby Cakes had a unique promotion that any child born 2017 or later in Louisiana is eligible for a lifetime pass to the Baby Cakes! In 1991 Denver was awarded a National League expansion franchise that would become the Colorado Rockies.

  • Business of Baseball”: a Proposed Framework for Determining the Scope of Professional Baseball’S Antitrust Exemption
    Defining the “Business of Baseball”: A Proposed Framework for Determining the Scope of Professional Baseball’s Antitrust Exemption Nathaniel Grow* This Article proposes a new analytical framework for determining the proper scope of the judicially created exemption shielding the activities of professional baseball from antitrust law. Specifically, the Article finds that lower courts have applied the exemption in widely divergent ways, due to a misunderstanding, and in some cases a misinterpretation, of the underlying focus of the United States Supreme Court’s opinions creating and affirming the exemption. The Article argues that future courts should reject the existing lower court precedent and instead, consistent with the often overlooked focus of the Supreme Court’s decisions, hold that the baseball exemption protects only those activities directly related to the business of providing baseball entertainment to the public.
