...commissioner's office has the opportunity to do the same in baseball. By prohibiting beer at stadiums, Peter Ueberroth can keep the "mob" in their place--at home in front of their TV sets with their 12-packs of Colt 45--while keeping the baseball parks of America safe for real baseball fans...

But locking the barn door did little good, the colt was gone and legal precedent favored Irsay. In the past year a California federal court has twice ruled in favor of Al Davis, owner of the Raiders, who challenged the NFL constitution and the city of Oakland when he moved his team from...
