Notes from the Shadows of Cooperstown Baseball was a sport, not a business (no less an institution that the Supreme Court would say so in 1922, in a ruling that still mystifies.) Let it entertain you. He claimed to have over 200 players in his organization -- the National Baseball Players Association -- when he decided to help Joe Jackson recover his salary for 1921 and 1922 from the White Sox.

EH.Net Encyclopedia: The Economic History of Major League Baseball Federal Baseball Club of Baltimore v the National League eventually reached the Supreme Court, where in 1922 the famous decision that baseball was not interstate commerce, and therefore was exempt from antitrust laws was rendered. The typical owner of a baseball team is now either a conglomerate, such as Disney, AOL Time Warner, the Chicago Tribune Company, or a wealthy individual who owns a (sometimes) related business, and operates the baseball team on the side – perhaps as a hobby, or as a complementary business. More commonly, the operation of a baseball team was a full time occupation of the owner, who was usually one individual, occasionally a partnership, but never a corporation. eh.net /encyclopedia/?article=haupert.mlb   (7764 words)

Simon Rottenberg was the first economist to seriously look into professional baseball with the publication of his classic 1956 article "The Baseball Players' Labor Market." His conclusion, not surprisingly, was that the reserve clause transferred wealth from the players to owners, but had only a marginal impact on where the best players ended up. www.eh.net /encyclopedia/article/haupert.mlb   (7764 words)

Baseball Fanatics - Home of the Baseball Fans This structure and the major league ownership of minor league baseball is possible because of a 1922 court decision in which baseball was ruled a local affair and not interstate commerce subject to antitrust law, an exemption which does not apply to other sports.

Online Etymology Dictionary As a term of endearment for one's lover it is attested perhaps as early as 1839, certainly by 1901; its popularity perhaps boosted by baby vamp "a popular girl," student slang from c.1922. slang, from jazz sense of "category," probably via notion of putting something in a bag.

Baseball (washingtonpost.com) Steve Fainaru: The Supreme Court has essentially disavowed its 1922 decision in the Federal Baseball case, but it turned over responsibility for addressing this "aberration" to Congress. Virginia might be perceived inside baseball -- and in particular by Commissioner Bud Selig -- as posing less of a threat to the Baltimore Orioles and his close ally, Peter Angelos. I think there's a realization in baseball that D.C./NoVa is not the same place it was in 1971, when the American League owners voted to let the Senators leave (Selig, of course, was one of those owners). www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/articles/A6248-2004Jun25.html   (1869 words)

"Insider Baseball" by Dayn Perry In 1922, in one of its more dubious decisions, the Supreme Court ruled that Major League Baseball games do not constitute interstate commerce, and thus are not subject to the Sherman Antitrust Act, an exemption never extended to any other professional sports league. Economically, conditions are ripe for baseball to return to D.C. It's the last big metropolitan area without a baseball team, and, contrary to press reports, at least one existing franchise will probably be looking for a new home soon. In the 30 years since baseball left Washington, assorted advocacy groups, civic organizations, business alliances, and even lawmakers, have lobbied to return a major league franchise to the nation's capital. www.washingtonmonthly.com /features/2001/0112.perry.html   (1869 words)

Pesapallo, or Finnish Baseball: An Old Tradition in a New Form - CULTURE Finnish, old European, and Scandinavian ball games contributed to its formation, as did the ideas of the late professor Lauri Pihkala, who was heavily influenced by American baseball. Pesapallo is a direct translation of the American word baseball: Pesa is Finnish for base and pallo for ball. Finland's national game, pesapallo, is a combination of old Finnish and European games played with bat and ball and of a modern competitive sport developed in Finland in 1922. www.worldandihomeschool.com /public_articles/1992/april/wis19894.asp   (397 words)

World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Baseball researcher Doug Pappas refutes that claim, demonstrating a linear progression from the phrase "World's Championship Series" (used to describe the 1903 series as well as some of the 19th century post-season series) to "World's Series" (a term first used in the 1880s and which persisted for decades) to "World Series". In baseball, the World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, played in October after the end of the regular season between the pennant winner of the American League and the pennant winner of the National League. This is the first time that the New York Yankees have been swept in a World Series in four games (the 1922 series had one tie). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Baseball/World_Series_1948   (8422 words)

Pesis or Pesapallo resources from the Virtual Library of Sport The game, created in 1922 by Lauri Pihkala as a unique game in nine innings that involves the fielders more than in cricket and baseball, and dramatically increases the number of valid bat to ball strikes due to its a vertical toss over a round wooden home base plate.

Articles - Baseball Professional baseball leagues began to form in countries outside of America in the 1920s and 1930s, including the Netherlands (formed in 1922), Japan (1936), and Australia (1934).

Sports Periodicals, 1822–1922 Many new games were invented and popularized (baseball and basketball among them), while many others were democratized, organized, and codified. These periodicals record the great cultural influences of the age—changes wrought by the popularization of the automobile, the growth of sports as big business, theories of racial and class differences, and the transformation of leisure activities from a pursuit for the well-to-do to one for the masses.
