A bipartisan group of senators zeroed in on the league's antitrust exemption in a letter to MLB on Tuesday, under a month after the 100th anniversary of Federal Baseball Club v. National League, a Supreme Court case that determined the exemption for the sport.
There are also questions about MLB's lobbying for the Save America's Pastime Act, a bill that rewrote federal laws so that baseball players were exempt from minimum wage requirements. While MLB claimed the bill was necessary to stop"minor league contraction," it did not appear to affect the league's shrinking in 2021.
The exemption was established in 1922 when the Supreme Court ruled that baseball was exempt from interstate commerce regulations due to the fact that"the business is giving exhibitions of baseball, which are purely state affairs." While some have expressed concerns about this being abused, the Supreme Court maintained in its 1953 ruling that Congress and not the court should handle the exemption, which is offered only to baseball and not other professional sports leagues.
