Major League Baseball came a step closer to losing its antitrust exemption when the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 9-8 to lift the rule. No other professional league has such a deal, which classifies baseball as a sport rather than a business, and thusallows employers to skirt some federal labor laws. The measure now goes to the Senate floor, where a vote is expected to be extremely close.
