Judge sides with Orioles, dismisses Major League Baseball decision in MASN case – Baltimore Sun
A New York Supreme Court justice today tossed out a Major League Baseball arbitration decision that the Orioles-controlled television network said would unfairly force it to pay tens of millions of dollars more in annual broadcast rights fees to the Washington Nationals. Justice Lawrence K. Marks vacated the decision and suggested that the parties settle the matter through a “neutral dispute resolution process.” Marks’ decision was unusual in that courts…

On Dec. 21, 1960, readers who turned to the sports section of the Chicago Daily Tribune found on its cover an usual baseball article. Their beloved Cubs were taking a turn toward baseball analytics, only it wasn’t called that yet. “The Cubs have installed an IBM system which gives instantaneous information on all players on National League rosters,” the article said.

Dusty Baker is long on baseball experience, and life experience – Washington Post
The next manager of the Washington Nationals will — officially now — be Dusty Baker. Taken out of context, the hiring is uncomplicated, logical and defensible: A team desperate for a manager with experience and credibility hired a baseball man with four decades in the professional game, two as a manager. But context complicates the hire, because it was shaped by more than baseball logic. Fitting, because despite 40-plus years…
