On Wednesday, MLB’s legal team asked a federal judge to throw out the lawsuit that the city filed in June over its attempt to get the Oakland Athletics to move to the South Bay. The Mercury News has \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_23816459/oakland-san-jose-mlb-strikes-back-against-citys\">a story and the legal documentation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose decided to take baseball to court after waiting more than four years for a decision from the major leagues — team owners and senior MLB officials—on the possible relocation of the A's to the South Bay. Major League Baseball currently assigns the territorial rights to Santa Clara County to the San Francisco Giants. It can revoke those rights if three-fourths of the clubs agree, but baseball Commissioner Bud Selig hasn’t wanted to put the issue to a vote, preferring to try to find a solution acceptable to everyone who's got a stake in the A's moving—or staying in Oakland (or possibly hoping that the whole question will go away before his scheduled retirement in 2015).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose says that every day it waits, it's losing revenue and jobs that construction and a functioning ballpark would bring to the city. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/filelibrary/1209/C-13-2787_COMPLT_WITH%20EXHIBITS.pdf\">The city's lawsuit\u003c/a> contends that Major League Baseball is conspiring to interfere with the option it has granted the A’s to purchase land near Diridon Station downtown, on which team owners, led by Lew Wolff, would build a ballpark. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baseball's lawyers argue, unsurprisingly, that the city doesn't have a leg to stand on. First, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, the major leagues have been exempt from federal antitrust law since the 1920s, and the MLB court filing argues it would take congressional action to change that. The filing also says that though baseball’s failure to grant the A's permission to move is one reason the team is still in Oakland, there are a number of other obstacles standing between the city and its dreams of having a major league team. Those barriers include the uncertain legal status of the land the city bought through its now-defunct redevelopment agency, acquisition of some other land the city doesn’t own, and the need for the city to formally approve a stadium project. This, the suit alleges, makes any damages San Jose has suffered extremely speculative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, Major League Baseball says San Jose doesn't even have standing in the case, since baseball never had any relationship with the city. If San Jose could sue baseball for not letting the A's move there, the major league filing argues, so could every other city in the country that wants a baseball team. (And guess who doesn't want teams to move? Every city that has one. Just ask Oakland.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Ronald M. Whyte is expected to hold a hearing on the case in early October. The A’s option to buy the land from San Jose expires in early November, although both parties can choose to renew it for a year. In the meantime, the team is negotiating with the managers of the Oakland Coliseum for a lease extension, reportedly through 2018.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It can revoke those rights if three-fourths of the clubs agree, but baseball Commissioner Bud Selig hasn’t wanted to put the issue to a vote, preferring to try to find a solution acceptable to everyone who's got a stake in the A's moving—or staying in Oakland (or possibly hoping that the whole question will go away before his scheduled retirement in 2015).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose says that every day it waits, it's losing revenue and jobs that construction and a functioning ballpark would bring to the city. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/filelibrary/1209/C-13-2787_COMPLT_WITH%20EXHIBITS.pdf\">The city's lawsuit\u003c/a> contends that Major League Baseball is conspiring to interfere with the option it has granted the A’s to purchase land near Diridon Station downtown, on which team owners, led by Lew Wolff, would build a ballpark. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baseball's lawyers argue, unsurprisingly, that the city doesn't have a leg to stand on. First, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, the major leagues have been exempt from federal antitrust law since the 1920s, and the MLB court filing argues it would take congressional action to change that. The filing also says that though baseball’s failure to grant the A's permission to move is one reason the team is still in Oakland, there are a number of other obstacles standing between the city and its dreams of having a major league team. Those barriers include the uncertain legal status of the land the city bought through its now-defunct redevelopment agency, acquisition of some other land the city doesn’t own, and the need for the city to formally approve a stadium project. This, the suit alleges, makes any damages San Jose has suffered extremely speculative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If San Jose could sue baseball for not letting the A's move there, the major league filing argues, so could every other city in the country that wants a baseball team. (And guess who doesn't want teams to move? Every city that has one. Just ask Oakland.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Ronald M. Whyte is expected to hold a hearing on the case in early October. The A’s option to buy the land from San Jose expires in early November, although both parties can choose to renew it for a year. In the meantime, the team is negotiating with the managers of the Oakland Coliseum for a lease extension, reportedly through 2018.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We can do better than that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courthouse site is in downtown San Jose, at 201 N.

By challenging it, San Jose is putting into play a sort of worst-case scenario for the sport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a core tenet of what baseball holds very near and dear to them,” said Maury Brown, president of the Business of Sports Network and a writer for Baseball Prospectus. “They have lobbied and spent millions of dollars over the years through their PACs to basically retain that. So I believe that they are probably scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the antitrust exemption has been unsuccessfully tested before, in 1953 and again in 1972 in the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/07/how-curt-flood-changed-baseball-and-killed-his-career-in-the-process/241783/\" target=\"_blank\">Curt Flood case\u003c/a>. In that instance, the All Star baseball player challenged baseball's now-defunct \"reserve clause,\" which bound players to a team as long as the club desired. (\"A well-paid slave is nonetheless a slave,\" Flood said.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1998 Congress passed the Curt Flood Act, which limited baseball's antitrust exemption in terms of its labor relations, said Michael McCann, director of the Sports and Entertainment Law Institute at the University of New Hampshire School of Law and a legal analyst for Sports Illustrated. This enshrined into law what had already been resolved in collective bargaining agreements. What that legislation did not do is end the league’s ability to block franchise relocation. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most scholars and courts would say because Congress declined to do anything about the exemption in 1998, it should continue to remain in place,“ said McCann.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>[The antitrust exemption] is a core tenet of what baseball holds very near and dear ...\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n--Maury Brown, The Business of Sports Network\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McCann said the legal premise behind baseball’s antitrust exemption stems from the court’s nearly century-old view of the Constitution’s Commerce Clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In order for [antitrust laws] to apply, there has to be interstate commerce,” he said. “And the court held that because baseball games are only played in one place, that’s not interstate commerce. The court today would never agree to that – that’s a very archaic view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, McCann thinks the odds of San Jose prevailing in the case are “very low.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it would take a very creative judge in terms of where the case is initially assigned to overlook precedent. But sometimes judges do their own thing and a judge may look at this more from a policy perspective than a precedent perspective. That’s certainly what San Jose is hoping for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other legal opinions expressed on the Web concur with McCann’s view that San Jose is unlikely to forge new ground here, no matter how just its cause. From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_23485245/san-jose-sues-mlb-over-stalled-oakland-move\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Mercury News\u003c/a> on Tuesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>University of Virginia law professor Gordon Hylton, who has studied the legal history of American sports, said he \"never thought that the division of the Bay Area into two distinct areas made much sense.\" He added that organized baseball's monopoly is \"almost certainly a violation of the federal antitrust laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hylton was skeptical a San Jose lawsuit against the baseball monopoly would succeed. \"San Jose would probably be better off appealing to Congress than the courts,\" Hylton said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomvanriper/2013/06/20/san-joses-lawsuit-against-major-league-baseball-is-weak/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Van Riper's column in Forbes\u003c/a> today, on the failure of the potential revocation of the exemption to solve San Jose's problem in any case ....\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The league could certainly maintain a degree of control of its franchises, as does the NFL and other leagues,” says Joseph Bauer, a professor of law at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/colleges/university-of-notre-dame/\">University of Notre Dame\u003c/a>, who studies sports labor issues. “Removing the exemption doesn’t make it unlawful if it has merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit would conceivably include optimizing business by spreading things out in a way that makes sense. “The league has a legitimate interest in where its franchises are located,” says Matthew Mitten, director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University. “That includes being geographically disbursed for television and for sponsors.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Maury Brown, of the Business of Sports Network, said there is some precedent for teams successfully challenging their leagues for the right to relocate. He pointed to the San Diego Clippers' move to Los Angeles in 1984, which it did without permission from the NBA. The Clippers and the league settled in 1987, with the team paying the league $6 million and formally agreeing that NBA rules on franchise location are binding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1982, Al Davis sued for and won the right to move the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles against a unanimous veto of the relocation by NFL owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE STADIUM ISSUE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was another dispute that had its roots in displeasure over the Oakland Coliseum: City officials wouldn’t make improvements to the venue that Davis wanted. Leaving aside San Jose's legal case, I asked Maury Brown how much of the A's business problems have to do with the deficiencies of their stadium (now officially called O.co Coliseum, though, really, not by fans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who grew up in the Bay Area and calls himself a “Finley kid,” said of the venue: \"It is the last multipurpose stadium available. It is really not terribly conducive to the whole ballpark experience, which is wholly unique in all of sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ballparks have this historical element, especially since the advent of Oriole Park at Camden Yards and this throwback thing. People really experience ballparks in a different way. I would have to say the stadium is probably a very key element in trying to allow them to be competitive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of a new stadium in downtown San Jose is one thing that has tempted A’s ownership, though even if the move were approved tomorrow, that is not exactly a shovel-ready project and would require a referendum and the acquisition of additional land parcels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting a new sports venue built is no easy trick, said Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ballparks, there’s all these things that come into play – whether infrastructure has to be changed or modified to basically allow 20,000 to maybe 40,000 people to go into a certain area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There can be lots of individuals that say we want to have this happen, but when it really comes down to brass tacks, it can be exceptionally difficult.” “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that’s tempting the A’s is the lure of playing in the heart of Silicon Valley. As KQED’s Nina Thorsen reported in her \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204190633/a\" target=\"_blank\">series on the stalled San Jose move\u003c/a> last year, \"These relocations are inspired not so much by the fan base or the availability of land, but by the proximity to corporations who are an increasingly important source of revenue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Vrooman, a sports economist on the faculty of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, told Thorsen that corporate clients are the most important ticket buyers. \"It's true for the Sharks, it's true for the Warriors, it's true for the Raiders, and it's going be true for the Athletics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the non-corporate Oakland fan base of today, the uncertainty continues. As it does for the would-be fan base awaiting in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday, the \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/\" target=\"_blank\">A's were in first place\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In that instance, the All Star baseball player challenged baseball's now-defunct \"reserve clause,\" which bound players to a team as long as the club desired. (\"A well-paid slave is nonetheless a slave,\" Flood said.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1998 Congress passed the Curt Flood Act, which limited baseball's antitrust exemption in terms of its labor relations, said Michael McCann, director of the Sports and Entertainment Law Institute at the University of New Hampshire School of Law and a legal analyst for Sports Illustrated. This enshrined into law what had already been resolved in collective bargaining agreements. What that legislation did not do is end the league’s ability to block franchise relocation. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most scholars and courts would say because Congress declined to do anything about the exemption in 1998, it should continue to remain in place,“ said McCann.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>[The antitrust exemption] is a core tenet of what baseball holds very near and dear ...\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n--Maury Brown, The Business of Sports Network\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McCann said the legal premise behind baseball’s antitrust exemption stems from the court’s nearly century-old view of the Constitution’s Commerce Clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In order for [antitrust laws] to apply, there has to be interstate commerce,” he said. “And the court held that because baseball games are only played in one place, that’s not interstate commerce. The court today would never agree to that – that’s a very archaic view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, McCann thinks the odds of San Jose prevailing in the case are “very low.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it would take a very creative judge in terms of where the case is initially assigned to overlook precedent. But sometimes judges do their own thing and a judge may look at this more from a policy perspective than a precedent perspective. That’s certainly what San Jose is hoping for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other legal opinions expressed on the Web concur with McCann’s view that San Jose is unlikely to forge new ground here, no matter how just its cause. From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_23485245/san-jose-sues-mlb-over-stalled-oakland-move\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Mercury News\u003c/a> on Tuesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>University of Virginia law professor Gordon Hylton, who has studied the legal history of American sports, said he \"never thought that the division of the Bay Area into two distinct areas made much sense.\" He added that organized baseball's monopoly is \"almost certainly a violation of the federal antitrust laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hylton was skeptical a San Jose lawsuit against the baseball monopoly would succeed. \"San Jose would probably be better off appealing to Congress than the courts,\" Hylton said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomvanriper/2013/06/20/san-joses-lawsuit-against-major-league-baseball-is-weak/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Van Riper's column in Forbes\u003c/a> today, on the failure of the potential revocation of the exemption to solve San Jose's problem in any case ....\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The league could certainly maintain a degree of control of its franchises, as does the NFL and other leagues,” says Joseph Bauer, a professor of law at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/colleges/university-of-notre-dame/\">University of Notre Dame\u003c/a>, who studies sports labor issues. “Removing the exemption doesn’t make it unlawful if it has merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit would conceivably include optimizing business by spreading things out in a way that makes sense. “The league has a legitimate interest in where its franchises are located,” says Matthew Mitten, director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University. “That includes being geographically disbursed for television and for sponsors.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Maury Brown, of the Business of Sports Network, said there is some precedent for teams successfully challenging their leagues for the right to relocate. He pointed to the San Diego Clippers' move to Los Angeles in 1984, which it did without permission from the NBA. The Clippers and the league settled in 1987, with the team paying the league $6 million and formally agreeing that NBA rules on franchise location are binding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1982, Al Davis sued for and won the right to move the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles against a unanimous veto of the relocation by NFL owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE STADIUM ISSUE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was another dispute that had its roots in displeasure over the Oakland Coliseum: City officials wouldn’t make improvements to the venue that Davis wanted. Leaving aside San Jose's legal case, I asked Maury Brown how much of the A's business problems have to do with the deficiencies of their stadium (now officially called O.co Coliseum, though, really, not by fans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who grew up in the Bay Area and calls himself a “Finley kid,” said of the venue: \"It is the last multipurpose stadium available. It is really not terribly conducive to the whole ballpark experience, which is wholly unique in all of sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ballparks have this historical element, especially since the advent of Oriole Park at Camden Yards and this throwback thing. People really experience ballparks in a different way. I would have to say the stadium is probably a very key element in trying to allow them to be competitive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of a new stadium in downtown San Jose is one thing that has tempted A’s ownership, though even if the move were approved tomorrow, that is not exactly a shovel-ready project and would require a referendum and the acquisition of additional land parcels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting a new sports venue built is no easy trick, said Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ballparks, there’s all these things that come into play – whether infrastructure has to be changed or modified to basically allow 20,000 to maybe 40,000 people to go into a certain area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There can be lots of individuals that say we want to have this happen, but when it really comes down to brass tacks, it can be exceptionally difficult.” “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that’s tempting the A’s is the lure of playing in the heart of Silicon Valley. As KQED’s Nina Thorsen reported in her \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204190633/a\" target=\"_blank\">series on the stalled San Jose move\u003c/a> last year, \"These relocations are inspired not so much by the fan base or the availability of land, but by the proximity to corporations who are an increasingly important source of revenue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Vrooman, a sports economist on the faculty of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, told Thorsen that corporate clients are the most important ticket buyers. \"It's true for the Sharks, it's true for the Warriors, it's true for the Raiders, and it's going be true for the Athletics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the non-corporate Oakland fan base of today, the uncertainty continues. As it does for the would-be fan base awaiting in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
