Should any professional baseball club fail to provide the compensation required by subsection (b), then— no persons in the business of organized professional baseball shall be exempt from the antitrust laws; and section 27 of the Clayton Act ( 15 U.S.C. 26b ) shall not apply to the business of organized professional baseball.
