Landis Targets Farm System in Historic Baseball Ruling
Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis broadsideed Detroit Tigers and the farm system, warning owners and executives of heavy fines and suspensions for covert player transfers. He argued farms and working agreements trap players, freeing them only via a rare draft, while promising a $50000 penalty per club official and $1000 per misrepresented certificate. Detroit owner Walter Briggs accepted the ruling, saying costs would be borne by the organization. National League President Ford Frick defended baseball’s farm system as essential to developing players.
