Baseball is exempted from the Sherman Antitrust Act primarily due to a 1922 Supreme Court ruling in Federal Baseball Club v. National League, which determined that professional baseball does not constitute interstate commerce. The Court argued that baseball games are local events, and therefore, the sport is not subject to federal antitrust laws. This ruling has led to a unique legal status for baseball, allowing it to operate with fewer regulatory constraints compared to other professional sports. Subsequent cases have upheld this exemption, reinforcing baseball's distinct position in U.S. law.
