1914. In 1922 the Supreme Court decided the famous case of Federal Baseball Club vs. National and American League. The Federal Base Ball Club (CFBB) of Baltimore team in the new Federal League claimed the monopoly agreement violated U.S. antitrust law. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the decision that a team's "business is giving exhibitions of baseball, which are purely state affairs." So U.S. antitrust law did not apply to the baseball business. This decision allowed the National and American Leagues to maintain a virtual monopoly on the nation’s favorite pastime, and the CFBB was ordered to dissolve.

Boston American League Base=Ball Club (55k jpg)

1911. New Jersey and Massachusetts, with a vignette of the New Jersey state seal. Among those responsible for establishing the Boston club was the legendary Connie Mack, who personally located the site for the club's ball park. Raids against many of the National League teams fielded a formidable club including Cy Young. A game immortal, Young was largely responsible for the team's popularity and early success. Since World War I, the Red Sox team has experienced ups and downs, but has maintained its near-fanatical loyalty among the Sox' hard core fans. Early major league baseball stocks certificates are rather scarce.
