Cavers v. HOUSTON MCLANE CO., INC.

[¶ 1] Houston McLane Co., Inc., d/b/a the Houston Astros Baseball Club, a Texas corporation, appeals from a decision of a Workers’ Compensation Board hearing officer (Jerome, HO) determining that the Board has personal jurisdiction over the Houston Astros on Eric D. Cavers’s claim for workers’ compensation benefits. The Astros contend that the exercise of personal jurisdiction in this case violates due process because the only contact the Ast-ros had with Maine was a visit by its Director of Scouting to negotiate and sign Cavers’s minor league baseball contract. We affirm.
