The Law of Baseball

By Roger Dennis

Tim Zinnecker has caused all of us who read the Faculty Lounge to strut our knowledge of baseball lore.  Even Tim?s very cool dad is engaged in the interchange!  But, Tim, this is a law blog.  How about some information on the law of baseball?  Baseball law is a rich subject for study.  For those interested in examining the field (of dreams), a good starting point is Amy Osborn?s excellent collection of relevant literature.  Since her article was published, the ABA has gotten in the act with The Little White Book of Baseball Law. And who can forget the best student note in the history of American law reviews, The Common Law Origins of the Infield Fly Rule.  Sadly,  the student author of this piece, William Stevens, passed away last year.
