Postseason Puzzle, Based on Flood v. Kuhn

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | October 10, 2007 - 10:45

Local fans glorying in the Indians’ success against the New York Yankees while trying to maintain focus on the study of law in this post-season can be grateful that the sport of baseball has provided much fodder for legal scholarship and judicial discourse. Just a few titles from the Library’s collection (Legal Issues in Professional Baseball , ed. by L. Kurlantzick, Academic Press, 2005; Legal Bases : Baseball and the Law , by R. Abrams, Temple University Press, 1998 ; Courting the Yankees : Legal Essays on the Bronx Bombers , ed. by E. Ward, Carolina Academic Press, 2003; Baseball and the American Legal Mind , ed. by S. Waller, N Cohen, P. Finkelman, Garland, 1995) ought to assure you that an obsession with the sport over the next few days (and weeks, we might hope) is perfectly consistent with pursuing a legal education.

Of course one should not lose sight of the fact that we are talking about a game: To relieve the tension of waiting for Borowski’s next pitch, how about trying your luck at a game of crosswords with a baseball theme: First, read the classic case of Flood v. Kuhn , 407 U.S. 258 (1972). All the puzzle answers are contained (or implied!) therein – then try the interactive puzzle (click on the boxes to reveal clues). Be patient, wait for your pitches, and you may not need the answer key.
