ANDREW ZIMBALIST The Economics of Baseball Conway, New Hampshire, August 19, 1992 Andrew Zimbalist is professor of Economics at Smith College. He is the author of many books on development and comparative economics. His latest book is Baseball and Billions My son was disgruntled, to say the least, back in March of 1990. Judging by the letters to the editor in various newspapers that I was looking at, there were millions of other Americans who were disgruntled as well. They were disgruntled because that thirty-two day lockout in 1990 marked the fifth or sixth time since 1970 that there was a work stoppage in professional baseball. Indeed, every single time that the basic agreement between the baseball owners and the baseball players came up for renegotiation, there was either a strike or a lockout. Back in 1914 and 1915 a competitive league established itself, called the Federal League. Back then, as is still largely the case today, although things changed a bit in 1976, players were under reserve to a particular team for their lifetime. They would be brought up through the farm system of the team and they would stay with that team. They didn't have the right to offer their services to somebody else, either if they wanted to move or were hoping to get the benefits of a free labor market and have a competitive bidding process for their salaries. Players couldn't do that. Everybody was under reserve. In a decision reminiscent of the wisdom of the Court in the 1990s, the Supreme Court back in 1922 ruled that baseball was not covered by the anti-trust laws because baseball did not engage in interstate commerce. That's a curious decision. The players, after all, cross state lines to play against teams from other cities and states. The bats, the balls, the uniforms all cross state lines. In 1921, the year before the Supreme Court ruling, the first World Series game was broadcast on radio. In fact, they used the radio relay that went from the Polo Grounds to Newark and then back to New York, so that was clearly interstate commerce. So it was a very curious ruling indeed.

Halsey Hall Chapter - SABR About the Chapter Officers and History By-Laws Who Was Halsey Hall? ... National SABR Website About the photo: Is this the oldest surviving game ball in Minnesota? When the game of baseball was codified by convention in 1857, it was considered a "scientific" game. Other informal bat and ball games have always been subject to regional variations. The ball pictured was likely created for a bat and ball game known as Town Ball. The oldest-known organized Town Ball club, the Olympic Ball Club of Philadelphia, dates to the 1830s. This ball was found recently underneath the floor of a Winona, Minnesota home during remodeling. Its exact age has yet to be determined, but it is possible the ball was used in the 1850s. Made of four leather pieces and rag strips, it is known as a "gusset" style ball. It is smaller than the typical ball used in 19th century regulation baseball, and the rag stuffing indicates it was soft enough for "plugging," the practice of throwing the ball at a base runner to put the player out, something specifically forbidden in early baseball rules. Thanks to SABR member John Freyer and Cherie in Winona for bringing it to our attention.
