"A home run! Professor Minan's book is a highly entertaining and informative book about our favorite sport. Prof. Minan cleverly weaves together the law, some American history, and some interesting anecdotal and background stories to explain how the law around baseball developed or, more accurately stated how the general principles of law have been applied to baseball. Prof. Minan also covers the human dimension, the people behind the legal issues at stake, as he discusses how various legal principles, e.g., anti-trust (The Supreme Court "Balks" at Changing the Anti-Trust Exemption), contracts (To Breach or Not to Breach), and labor law (Umps Reverse their Employment Call), have been applied in the context of baseball. In the end, the reader has not only gained a solid understanding of the law of baseball but also of the law, generally. It is easy to imagine this book being used as the text of a "History of American Law" course. Lawyers, baseball fans, history lovers, and non-fiction readers will love this book. "
