Congressional complicity in the baseball antitrust exemption: analysing senate voting patterns

Author

  • Neil Longley

Abstract

This article examines a key congressional vote on preserving baseball's antitrust exemption. It finds that the most important factor influencing a legislator's vote was whether there was a Major League Baseball (MLB) team in the legislator's constituency. This supports the notion that the professional sports industry has been effective in 'capturing' their political overseers.
