		Baseball is played by amateurs of all ages, including numerous sandlot clubs and athletic associations, virtually every high school and college in the U.S., and scores of junior leagues.
		During the next quarter of a century numerous other leagues were organized throughout the U.S. Among the first of these were the International League and the Northwestern League, both composed of teams representing smaller cities than the clubs in the National League and known for that reason as minor leagues.
		Much controversy surrounded baseball’s reserve clause, which bound a player to one team until the player retired or was traded; if a player’s contract expired, and no new agreement was reached, the clause allowed the team to renew the contract annually.

		Leagues in other parts of the world, notably Japan and Latin America, may have equivalent levels of play (and increasingly draw from the same talent pools), but are typically not included when the term is used.
		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.

	CNNSI.com - Baseball - Strike could cost teams $600M in TV revenue - Wednesday August 28, 2002 06:36 PM
		Fox is paying major league baseball about $340 million this year, according to a person familiar with the contract who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
		Baseball likely would choose to rebate that money by taking reduced payments over the final four years of the contract -- a blow to the small- and mid-market teams who count on the national TV fees to make up for their smaller local revenues.
		Major league baseball itself would be the big loser if marketers are left without ballgames as a venue for hawking their snacks and beer.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Baseball's antitrust exemption: Q & A
		Baltimore, a member of the Federal League that operated as a major league in 1914-15, had sued the National and American Leagues, charging the Federal League's inability to sign players was due to antitrust violations.
		A plaintiff challenging contraction, in an antitrust suit, would allege that contraction constitutes an agreement among all the teams in the league to limit output (two fewer teams to watch) and limit competition (28 instead of 30 teams competing for the same players).
		Major league teams would have to purchase or trade for their players from minor league teams or directly from college programs.

		Baseball is the story of big business and American enterprise, tracing the game's growth into a billion-dollar industry through decades marked by ambition and greed.
		With major league expansion to both coasts and the arrival of television, baseball became even more lucrative for the owners, but not until an effective union finally broke the reserve clause and ushered in the era of free agency did players get a share of the wealth.
		Throughout its history, baseball has given us fine athletes who were even finer human beings whose graciousness helped make major league baseball the national pastime it will always be.

		Television revenues vary widely according to the individual markets, but the teams that seem to do the best with local television revenues are the teams that are perennially competitive.
		Baseball owners are historically very stubborn and resistant to change, but with the current situation baseball finds itself in, it may require unprecedented cooperation among the owners, and also between the owners and the players union, in order to solve the serious problems that face baseball in the near future.
		Baseball owners cannot afford to be so selfish with their own money that they force the poorer teams into financial ruin, and they also cannot afford to alienate the fans that they depend on as the basis for all the money they all make.

	Major League Baseball television contracts Information
		When NBC inked a $550 million contract for six years in the fall of 1982, a return on the investment so to speak demanded Vin Scully to be their star baseball announcer.
		Under a six year plan, Major League Baseball was intended to receive 85% of the first $140 million in advertising revenue (or 87.5% of advertising revenues and corporate sponsorship from the games until sales top a specified level), 50% of the next $30 million, and 80% of any additional money.
		In July 1995, ABC and NBC, who wound up having to share the duties of televising the 1995 World Series as a way to recoup (with ABC broadcasting Games 1, 4, and 5 and NBC broadcasting Games 2, 3, and 6), announced that they were opting out of their agreement with Major League Baseball.

	SportsBiz: Baseball's quiet war chest - Dec. 21, 2001
		While baseball officials won't disclose the exact amount of money in the fund, it appears there was about $44 million retained by the fund in 2000, and somewhere north of $200 million since 1995.
		One former baseball executive has told me that if baseball does move ahead with contraction, the initial payments to the owners being bought out would come from resources of the general fund, not from each of the remaining 28 teams.
		Baseball's arcane accounting process actually means that the money being held in the fund counts could eventually become part of the "losses" reported by 25 of the sports' 30 franchises.

		But in all sports, revenues from national television contracts have grown as a percent of total revenues, and these revenues are divided equally among the clubs.
		Although player contracts vary from sport to sport, all contain some basic prohibitions against moves to other teams that are initiated by the player.
		Because teams in new leagues are inferior to established teams (the established teams already have the best stars), the networks have little incentive to substitute a new league's games for NFL games.
