Special Affinity Between Baseball and Law

A friend e-mailed me the following question and I thought I would pass it along to our readership for further discussion and comment:

What is the special affinity between baseball and law?

I long have believed (although I have no empirical support for this) that baseball is the most popular sport among lawyers (and especially law professors). Baseball seems like the most legalistic of sports; it is rule-bound and tradition-bound, just like law.

So what is going on here? What are some good explanations for this?
