Congress and the SF Giants


Your last sentence tied everything back to Selig. Nicely done.

Re: Congress and the SF Giants


The Reason boys nailed it in this WaPo piece:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/18/AR2008011802871.html

First, Major League Baseball, along with other sports leagues and private-sector ventures, simply should not be required to submit their business plans -- much less blood and urine samples -- to Congress or any other government body. (The flip-side of this, of course, is that MLB and other sports leagues should not be allowed to extract extortionate contracts for stadiums and services from all-too-pliant state and local governments.) Tierney and other elected officials have argued that baseball's exemption from federal antitrust legislation gives Congress the right to meddle in the game's affairs. That exemption, based on a 1922 court decision that ridiculously found that pro baseball did not constitute interstate commerce, has caused more harm than good by allowing owners to collude against players and prospective competitor leagues and by allowing cartel arrangements and restraints on trade unimaginable in other industries. While it should be repealed, it hardly gives Congress a warrant to micromanage MLB the way George Steinbrenner has his New York Yankees.

For more on the Hill, featuring dopey Chris Shays, read the whole thing.
