Posted: 3/17/05 at 5:14pmMLB had years to get around to policing themselves and the benefit of a government-granted monopoly. And their players are still taking illegal drugs. So you can say they're doing this to basically show MLB (which is a corporation, in the end) who's the boss here.

It is incredible about the steroids. The biggest, most powerful sluggers from recent years are involved. I am not a New Yorker but I have been a Yankee fan since Mickey Mantle. Read my paper about The Yankees. http://jimcolyer.com/papers/entry?id=41

Posted: 3/17/05 at 9:02pmCongress holds hearings because MLB is a monopoly and could amend the Sherman Antitrust Act in an attempt to regulate the monopoly. Updated On: 3/17/05 at 09:02 PM

Posted: 3/17/05 at 9:04pmNo, I'm pretty sure the monopoly was upheld by the Supreme Court.

Plum - you are correct in 1922 the Supreme Court in Federal Baseball Club of Baltimore v. National League found that the Sherman Act did not apply. Congress has amended the Sherman Act to include some aspects of baseball and could likely amend it further to affect baseball.
I amended my previous post.
