Exercise 2

Forman, a star player for a major league baseball team, was engaged to speak at a sports banquet sponsored by a veterans' organization in a large city. One week before the banquet, Forman learned that he was scheduled to make a television appearance on a major network on the same night as the banquet. Forman offered to send an equally well-known player from his team. The veterans' club refused to permit this substitution and canceled the sports banquet. Could the organization legally cancel the banquet and sue Forman for breach of contract?
