The decades between the late 1960s counterculture and the advent of
steroid use in the late 1980s bought tumult to Major League
Baseball. Dock Ellis (Pirates, Yankees) and Dick Allen (Phillies,
Cardinals, Dodgers, White Sox) epitomized the era with recreational
drug use (Ellis), labor strife (Allen), and the questioning of
authority. Both men were Black Power advocates at a time when the
movement was growing in baseball. In the 1970s and 1980s, Marvin
Miller and the Major League Baseball Players Association fought
numerous, mostly victorious battles with MLB and team owners. This
book chronicles a turbulent period in baseball, and in American
life, that led directly to the performance-enhancing drug era and
dramatically changed nature of the game.
