(Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2000) Think salary disputes are a recent phenomenon? Think again. “The Money Pitch: Baseball Free Agency and Salary Arbitration,” Roger Abrams. Here are eight reading suggestions that are not novels or breezy odes to green grass and the boys of summer – but weightier, nonfiction works that explore the business and legal aspects of the game (courtesy of lawyer-professor-bibliographer Amy Beckham Osborne and Penn State Law School): So what better companion for your upcoming beach trip than a little summer reading that combines the law and our national past-time? And it continues to the present, with sports writers spending as much time covering steroids, player strikes and spitballs as they do reporting game results. It goes all the way back to the appointment of a federal district court judge – Kennesaw Mountain Landis – as the first baseball commissioner nearly 100 years ago. There is a strange and wonderful synergy between baseball and the law. Email Pin on Pinterest Share on Google+ Share on LinkedIn Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
