A POSITIVIST, BASEBALL-CENTRIC CRITIQUE OF ORIGINALISM.

The article critiques the notion of compelled originalism by comparing the language of the baseball rulebook to that of the U.S. and other constitutions. Topics include a description of how different rules of baseball align with originalism while others invite umpires to use a living Constitution approach, a discussion of H. L. A. Hart's philosophy of legal positivism to evaluate baseball and constitutional rules, and the contradictions of compelled originalism.
