U.S. Supreme Court Refuses To Hear San Jose's Claim Against MLB

The U.S. Supreme Court today, as "widely expected," refused to hear San Jose's "last-ditch appeal of its antitrust claims against MLB for stalling a plan" to move the A's to Silicon Valley. The court was considered the city's "last hope to revive its effort to use legal levers to force the league to move on allowing the A's to build a ballpark in downtown San Jose." San Jose still has a claim in state courts alleging MLB "interfered with its business terms with the A's to build a ballpark," but that is "not expected to survive." A's co-Owner Lew Wolff "never supported San Jose's legal action" (MERCURYNEWS.com, 10/5).
