Congress panel moves to strip baseball antitrust exemption
A House Special Committee on Professional Sports votes nearly unanimously to end major league baseballs antitrust immunity, a ruling the panel says is unjustified. Rep. Mottl opposes ending the exemption citing lower baseball tickets in 1976. The panel urges continued sports inquiry and sets plans for a broader antitrust review across pro sports.
