Baseball has long been designated the great American pastime.
However, when baseball is considered from a legal perspective it
becomes more than sport, recreation, or entertainment, and it
differs greatly from other examples of these. The only textbook of
its kind, Baseball and the Law explains why baseball is different -
legally - and examines baseball-specific regulations and laws. Each
chapter focuses on a distinctive legal aspect of the sport
beginning with contracts and laws related to injuries sustained by
spectators. The material addresses salary arbitration and
grievances, gambling, steroid use, the reserve clause and antitrust
exemption, and intellectual property. Students also learn about
free agency, the luxury tax, the baseball commissioner's power,
strikes and lockouts, and defamation and privacy. The book
underscores the importance of baseball's history, from segregation
and the Negro league to its current global popularity. Filled with
real-world examples and cases, as well as expert commentary,
Baseball and the Law will be of interest for those studying law,
sports management, and popular culture.
