What’s Rob Reading?

The Federal Case: A Novel, by J.B. ManheimThe Federal Case: A Novel
By J.B. Manheim

“In 1914 the Federal League of Base Ball Clubs declared itself a “major” league and began pirating players from the established leagues. Ban Johnson, the most powerful man in Major League Baseball, led the fierce resistance to this move. In 1915 Federal League owners filed a lawsuit claiming that the American and National Leagues were restraining trade in violation of the nation’s new antitrust laws. The litigation languished until an informal settlement ended the case—and the league’s existence. But was that the whole story? A century later, young night-schooled lawyer Andy Dennum has landed a position with a prestigious law firm, only to find himself tasked with mucking out the firm’s archive of presumedly dead files.”
