Excerpt from The Key Issues Confronting Minor League Baseball: Hearing Before the Committee on Small Business, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, Washington, DC, July 20, 1994
In the years before the impact of these new standards - 1990, 1991, and 1992 - the total number of minor league franchise reloca tions were two in 1990, four in 1991, four in 1992. As the stand ards had their impact, the number of relocations jumped to 14 in 1993, 13 in 1994, and probably a similar number or higher in 1995. In other words, cities today are losing their teams.
It is the smaller communities, the very communities that you talked about earlier, that will likely be hit the hardest. From 1987 to 1993, two-thirds of the franchise relocations were from towns of less than in population. The vice president of the National Association testified before a House subcommittee that, and I quote, One of the principal benefits of minor league baseball is to bring the game of organized baseball to small town and rural America.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between major and minor league baseball, examining the legal and financial controversy surrounding the major league baseball antitrust exemption. The author argues that the exemption, which has been in place for over 70 years, has allowed major league teams to exert significant control over minor league teams, stifling competition and limiting opportunities for independent minor leagues. The book delves into the historical context of the exemption, examining its origins and the various attempts to repeal it. It also analyzes the potential impact of repealing the exemption, considering both the benefits and risks for minor league baseball. The author concludes that while the exemption has provided some benefits to minor league teams, it has also hindered their growth and autonomy. Ultimately, the book argues that repealing the exemption would promote a more competitive and equitable environment for minor league baseball, allowing it to thrive as a vibrant and independent part of the baseball landscape.
