  • News Lane Field Park Opening 03.24.15 FINAL
    Civitas Hits Home Run with Opening of San Diego’s Lane Field Park New North Embarcadero area design provides city lawn, honors baseball heritage Aerial view of San Diego’s new Lane Field Park shows reminders of site’s historic baseball past, including monument to home plate and pitcher’s mound. Custom chaise lounge-style benches invite relaxation. Denver, Colo. – March 24, 2015 – Baseball veterans were on hand to throw out a ceremonial first pitch for the recent grand opening of San Diego’s Lane Field Park, designed by urban design and landscape architecture studio Civitas. The park was created on the former site of Lane Field baseball stadium, home to the then-Pacific Coast League San Diego Padres from 1936-1957 – history that played an integral role in the Civitas design. At the same time the new park is visually tied to the Port of San Diego’s massive North Embarcadero Visionary Plan, which includes the Civitas- designed grand esplanade that opened in November 2014 just across Harbor Drive. “Lane Field Park was designed as a trace or remnant to remind people of what was once here,” explains Scott Jordan, Civitas Project Manager for the new park. “Part of the inspiration was the original base paths, pitcher’s mound and home plate. A granite marker at home plate demarcates with the silhouette of a baseball player and info about Ted Williams, who actually played at the park, and the base paths are lit up with in-ground LEDs.” Those baseball references are historically accurate right down to commemorating a mistake, Jordan adds: “The original

  • Ross E. Davies, It's No Game
    IT’S NO GAME: THE PRACTICE AND PROCESS OF THE LAW IN BASEBALL, AND VICE VERSA Ross E. Davies, George Mason University School of Law Seton Hall Journal of Sports and Entertainment Law, Forthcoming George Mason University Law and Economics Research Paper Series 09-58 This paper can be downloaded without charge from the Social Science Research Network at http://ssrn.com/abstract_id=1510370 IT’S NO GAME THE PRACTICE AND PROCESS OF THE LAW IN BASEBALL, AND VICE VERSA Ross E. Davies† It is a commonplace that the relationship between baseball and the law is a long and close one. But, first, is it true? And, second, if it is, just how long and how close? Strangely, given the large amount of good work produced by able scholars of baseball and the law, concrete answers to these basic questions are not readily available. This article is a first step toward filling that gap. It is a sketch of the length, breadth, and depth of the relationship between baseball and the law. (In order to tell a less-than-interminable tale, this article mostly tilts back and forth between recent years – evidence of the vibrancy of the baseball-law relationship today – and the late 19th and early 20th centuries – evidence that it has been vibrant for a long time – and deals only sketchily even with those periods. This should not be taken to mean that the baseball-law relationship was any less interesting at other times, or that there isn’t much more to be said about all times.1) As should be clear by the end of this article, the answer to the first question is an emphatic and certain “Yes”: baseball and the law are close and have been for a long time.
