Law officials keeping tabs on ball case
Washington officials from the Justice Department study antitrust aspects of the Danny Gardella baseball case. No decision yet, but possible intervention if baseball status under antitrust law is at issue. An FBI probe could precede any move to join the suit, potentially placing clubs in interstate commerce. The move would challenge the 1922 ruling that baseball is not interstate commerce. The department is not concerned with the reverse clause binding players to clubs after contracts expire.
