Yeah. It will be fascinating to see how baseball, if they invoke anti-trust protection, justifies stealing nickles from kids in order to give them to millionaires and billionaires.

I'd imagine they'll advance a slippery slope argument or a parade of horrors argument...probably both. Then analogize to other failed challenges to the league. Again, it'll settle, but not before millions are spent on the attorneys.

Bonds bless us all....

IF MLB were to lose this one, I wonder how it will affect all the MASSIVE TV contracts that have been signed in the last few years. The internet, I feel, will ultimately kill TV, and maybe sooner than any of us think (within 10-15 years).

If CSN, YES, FOX, etc lose their territory rights to the local teams, will they be able to renegotiate their $B deals?

I'd bet a LOT of money that there is language in those deals providing for such an event. Those lawyers aren't dumb.
