Ending Baseball's Antitrust Exemption: Fair Play for Fans and Players

This act aims to remove the special antitrust exemption for professional baseball. This means baseball organizations, like Major League Baseball, would be subject to the same competition rules as other businesses, potentially impacting ticket prices, player conditions, and the development of local teams.
Key points
Professional baseball will lose its protection from antitrust laws, potentially leading to more competition and better conditions for players.
Changes could affect ticket prices, making them more affordable for families, and support for smaller baseball teams.
The act seeks to protect the interests of fans, players, and local communities from monopolistic practices.
