John Montefusco, Jr
NOT PRECEDENTIAL THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ___________ No. 01-3276 ___________ JOHN MONTEFUSCO, JR., Appellant, v. ESPN INC; DORIS MONTEFUSCO ___________ ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY (D.C. Civil No. 01-cv-01957) District Judge: The Honorable Anne E. Thompson ___________ Submitted Under Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a) September 9, 2002 BEFORE: NYGAARD, ROTH, and WEIS, Circuit Judges. (Filed: September 20, 2002 ) ___________ OPINION OF THE COURT ___________ NYGAARD, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff John Montefusco, Jr., appeals from the dismissal of his defamation claim against ESPN, Inc. Montefusco, formerly a major league baseball pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees, and once the National League’s “Rookie of the Year,” was the subject of a telecast by the ESPN sports news show, “SportsCenter.” In the SportsCenter telecast, ESPN described criminal proceedings in New Jersey concerning charges against Montefusco by his ex-wife, Doris Montefusco, of sexual and physical violence. Doris Montefusco charged Montefusco with rape, threatened murder, and three attempts to seriously injure her with extreme indifference to human life. The ESPN broadcast noted that a jury found Montefusco not guilty of eighteen felony counts, but convicted him of assault and criminal trespass. Several times throughout the telecast, Montefusco’s case was analogized to that of O.J. Simpson, “another ex-athlete accused of domestic violence.” Montefusco sued ESPN for defamation and made a claim for false light invasion of privacy. Both the defamation claim and the false light claim were based on identical grounds. -

Abrams [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Temple University Press 1998] xi / 226 pages ISBN: 1-56639-599-2 In spite of the greater popularity of football and basketball, baseball remains the sport of greatest interest to writers, artists, and historians. The same appears to be true for law professors as well. Recent years have seen the publication Spencer Waller, Neil Cohen, & Paul Finkelman's, Baseball and the American Legal Mind (1995) and G. Ed- ward White's, Creating the National Pastime: Baseball Transforms Itself, 1903-1953 (1996). Now noted labor law expert and Rutgers-Newark Law School Dean Roger Abrams has entered the field with Legal Bases: Baseball and the Law. Unlike the Waller, Cohen, Finkelman anthology of documents and White's history, Abrams does not attempt the survey the full range of intersections between the baseball industry and the legal system. In- stead, he focuses upon the history of labor-management relations. -

Several were injured, and others have been getting needed development time in Triple-A. That's finally starting to change. With his "Super Two" status no longer a concern, pitching prospect Cody Reed was called up Saturday. Infielder Jose Peraza is back in the big leagues for the second time. Starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani has put an oblique injury behind him. Pitchers Michael Lorenzen and Raisel Iglesias could be ready in the near future. "It's exciting because this is what we've all talked about," Price said. "We've anticipated it would happen a little bit sooner. We didn't anticipate the health issues, and didn't think we'd come out of Spring Training with all the issues and injuries. I did anticipate we'd get to the point where these young guys would impact our ballclub, and begin to learn how to play at this level and find their way to success." More help could be coming. Pitcher Robert Stephenson, who already made two spot starts in the big leagues, is performing well at Triple-A Louisville with a 3.29 ERA in 11 starts. -

CHAMPION, JR.* I. INTRODUCTION The United States Supreme Court has a history of misinterpreting cases that involve sports antitrust exemptions. The most infamous antitrust exemption case of this sort is Flood v. Kuhn.I This case "was an antitrust action based on baseball's failure to allow St. Louis Cardinals' outfielder Curt Flood to negotiate his own contract with another team on the basis that 'free agency' in any form, was not permitted under the reserve system." 2 As Curt Flood said, "I should be able to negotiate for myself in an open market and see just how much money this little body is worth. -
