Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 12-7-2020
Washington Herald, December 7, 1920:
Baseball is sport, not commerce.
As played and conducted by organized baseball clubs it is not subject to the restrictions and penalties carried by the Sherman anti-trust law. The District Court of Appeals said so yesterday in declaring that the Federal Baseball Club of Baltimore, Md., an alleged “outlaw” organization, was not entitled to recover $264,000 damages from organized baseball because the latter, it was alleged, “squeezed” them out of business by monopolistic methods.
Welp.

Not that one: Don Johnson
This team has an unusual amount of catching talent: the GOAT, with Hal Smith and Ozzie Virgil both available as backups. Its only weak spot is the bullpen. Galehouse leads the pitching staff in career "saves" with 13; Saul Rivera (gulp) most likely serves as its closer.
