Please read the case (Costa v. Boston Red Sox Baseball Club, 2004). After reviewing the case, please provide an essay response to the following set of questions:

1. Do you believe a contract was created between Ms. Costa and the Red Sox Baseball club? Detail the facts and analysis that lead you to this conclusion.
2. Do you agree with the Court's decision in this case? Based on your understanding of the case, and your acquired knowledge on contract formation, if you were sitting as the judge in this case would you have come to the same decision or a different one - why or why not?

* As you respond to these questions consider various perspectives that this issue might offer, in addition to how contractual law and theory might expand due to the scope and structure of such a decision. What might be the future impacts of the court's position? Does it serve a legal or political interest - or something else?
