Baseball Plays Captive By Wisconsin Court

They argued Judge Elmer Roller lacked jurisdiction ordering the Atlanta Braves to return to Milwaukee unless the league agreed to expand in 1967. They claim Wisconsin antitrust law cannot apply to organized baseball and that due process was denied, risking economic ruin for the Braves if forced to move.
