Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 "If They Could Only Get Over The Idea That They Owned Us"12 A look at sports pages during the past year reveals that the seemingly endless argument between the owners of major league baseball teams and their players is once more taking attention away from the game on the field. At the heart of the trouble between players and management is the fact that baseball, by fiat of antitrust exemption, is a http://www.empire.net/~lewisec/Players_League_web2.html Page 1 of 7 Players' League-Chapter 2 7/19/2001 12:12 PM monopolistic, monopsonistic cartel, whose leaders want to operate in the style of Gilded Age magnates.13 This desire is easily understood, when one considers that the business of major league baseball assumed its current structure in the 1880's--the heart of the robber baron era. Professional baseball as we know it today began with the formation of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs in 1876. The National League (NL) was a departure from the professional organization which had existed previously: the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players. The main difference between the leagues can be discerned by their full titles; where the National Association considered itself to be by and for the players, the NL was a league of ball club owners, to whom the players were only employees.

    Presidents and Baseball in Dc

    TEAM UP JANUARY TOUCH BASE 2021 PRESIDENTS AND BASEBALL IN DC Across the country, Opening Day marks the beginning of a new Major League Baseball season. In Washington, DC, Opening Day is truly unique because it often makes history. Major League Baseball’s ceremonial first pitch goes back to April 14, 1910. William Howard Taft, the 27th president of the United States, attended the home opener of the Washington Senators against the Philadelphia Athletics. A sold out crowd of 12,226 fans—the largest baseball crowd in Washington at that time—gave President Taft a standing ovation as he made his way to his seats along the first-base line. Just prior to the start of the game, umpire Billy Evans walked over to President Taft’s box and presented him with a new baseball. Evans instructed President Taft that he was to throw the ball from his seat in the stands to Senators pitcher Walter Johnson to officially start the season. With Taft’s on-target throw, the ceremonial first pitch was born. The president watched the whole game, a 3-0 Washington win in which Johnson threw a one-hit, complete-game shutout. From 1910 through 1972, when the Washington Senators left for Texas, 11 presidents threw a ceremonial first pitch 45 times on Opening Day, or at the team’s home opener if they began the season on the road. In those games the Senators won 23 and lost 22. Prior to the Senators move, every president since Taft was in attendance for a Washington Senators home opener at least once.
