Sen. Lee Seeks To Punish MLB For Pulling All-Star Game Out Of Georgia

(Washington, DC)  --  Republican Senator Mike Lee is looking to hit back at Major League Baseball after it moved the All-Star Game out of Georgia to protest the state's new voting law.  Lee has joined other Senate Republicans on new legislation that would strip the league of its antitrust exemption. 

He contends MLB behaved like a monopoly when it decided to move the midsummer classic to Colorado.  The Supreme Court granted the antitrust exemption to the league in 1922, determining that baseball didn't count as interstate commerce.
