William Stevens, author of the law article about the infield fly rule, is no longer with us.
William S. Stevens, whose slyly humorous law-review note on the relationship between baseball’s infield fly rule and Anglo-American common law became one of the most celebrated and imitated analyses in American legal history, died Monday in Anchorage, where he was working. He was 60 and lived in Narberth, Pa.
He got his obit in The New York Times because he came up with a clever analogy. Better than most.
