ABRAMS* "I want to thank you for making this day necessary" -Yogi Berra on Yogi Berra Fan Appreciation Day in St. Louis (1947) As we celebrate the enactment of the Curt Flood Act of 1998 in this festschrift, we should not forget the lessons to be learned from the legal events which made this watershed legislation necessary. Baseball is a game for the ages, and the Supreme Court's decisions exempting the baseball business from the nation's antitrust laws are archaic reminders of judicial decision making at its arthritic worst. However, the opinions are marvelous teaching tools for inchoate lawyers who will administer the justice system for many legal seasons to come. The new federal stat- ute does nothing to erase this judicial embarrassment, except, of course, to overrule a remarkable line of cases: Federal Baseball,' Toolson,2 and Flood? I.

  • FLOOD V. KUHN Supreme Court of the United States 407 U.S
    FLOOD v. KUHN Supreme Court of the United States 407 U.S. 258, 92 S. Ct. 2099 (1972) Mr. Justice BLACKMUN delivered the opinion of the Court. For the third time in 50 years the Court is asked specifically to rule that professional baseball's reserve system is within the reach of the federal antitrust laws.1 . 1 The reserve system, publicly introduced into baseball contracts in 1887, see Metropolitan Exhibition Co. v. Ewing, 42 F. 198, 202--204 (C.C.SDNY 1890), centers in the uniformity of player contracts; the confinement of the player to the club that has him under the contract; the assignability of the player's contract; and the ability of the club annually to renew the contract unilaterally, subject to a stated salary minimum. Thus A. Rule 3 of the Major League Rules provides in part: '(a) UNIFORM CONTRACT. To preserve morale and to produce the similarity of conditions necessary to keen competition, the contracts between all clubs and their players in the Major Leagues shall be in a single form which shall be prescribed by the Major League Executive Council. No club shall make a contract different from the uniform contract or a contract containing a non-reserve clause, except with the written approval of the Commissioner. '(g) TAMPERING. To preserve discipline and competition, and to prevent the enticement of players, coaches, managers and umpires, there shall be no negotiations or dealings respecting employment, either present or prospective, between any player, coach or manager and any club other than the club with which he is under contract or acceptance of terms, or by which he is reserved, or which has the player on its Negotiation List, or between any umpire and any league other than the league with which he is under contract or acceptance of terms, unless the club or league with which he is connected shall have, in writing, expressly authorized such negotiations or dealings prior to their commencement.'

  • Troy Baseball Legend, Evers
    Baseball Across New York Troy Baseball Legend, Evers By Craig Muder At 5-foot-9 and 125 pounds, Johnny Evers might seem out of place with the 200-pound infielders on today’s big league baseball diamonds. But in the first years of the 20th Century, the acrobatic Evers excelled at the “Inside Baseball” style of play that domi- nated the time – featuring bunting, stolen bases and hit-and- runs – and led his teams to four National League pennants and three World Series titles. Born in Troy, on July 21, 1881, Evers – a name that rhymed with “beavers” though he came to also accept the pro- nunciation that rhymed with “feathers” – made his big league debut at the age of 21 in 1902 with the Chicago Cubs. Evers established himself as the Cubs’ starting second baseman in 1903 – teaming with shortstop Joe Tinker and first baseman Frank Chance to form one of the best infield combinations of the era. In 1906, the Cubs dominated the NL from start to finish, winning 116 games against only 36 losses. The 116 wins have been matched since only by the 2001 Seattle Mariners, and no team has matched the Cubs’ .763 winning percentage of 1906. Evers hit .255 that season, but drove in 51 runs and stole 49 bases. His spectacular infield defense – combined with that of Tinker, Chance and the other members of the Cubs – resulted in Chicago allowing just 381 runs for the entire season. The Cubs lost the 1906 World Series to the White Sox but Johnny Evers won the Fall Classic in 1907 and 1908.
