Field of Dreams: The Tipline for 19 September 2023

Attorneys at Weil Gotshal & Manges must have (re)watched Phil Alden Robinson’s colossal movie last night after urging the Supreme Court to drive away the ghost of its century-old “baseball exemption.” In a petition filed yesterday, a group of defunct Minor Baseball League teams accusing the Major Baseball League teams of unlawfully boycotting them, called the 1922 decision in Federal Baseball Club of Baltimore the “longest-lived mistake” the highest court has ever made. Also in Tipline, Harley Davidson fights against a class of motorcycle owners’ relevant antitrust market.
