Four court cases about baseball and antitrust laws.
Major league baseball received its antitrust exemption from case law rather than federal legislation.
Research the history of the exemption of major league baseball from antitrust laws. Write a research paper, a minimum of ten to fifteen pages (not including title page, table of contents, references), double spaced, APA format, title page, table of contents, and references, on the history and current status of the antitrust exemption of major league baseball and what you think about that exemption. Your paper should be more than a mere recitation of the facts you uncover, but should reflect your independent thought and analysis.
