Many assume incorrectly that confrontations between baseballs
players and management began in the 1960s when the Major League
Baseball Players Association started showing signs of becoming a
union to be reckoned with. (The tensions of the 1960s prompted the
owners to form the Player Relations Committee to deal with them and
in February 1968, the two groups negotiated the games first Basic
Agreement.) The struggles between players and management to gain
the upper hand did not, however, start there--the two groups have
had numerous clashes since baseball began (as well as since the
1968 agreement). There have been various periods of conflict and
peace throughout the century and before. This work traces the
history of the relationship between players and management from
baseball's early years to the new challenges and developing
tensions that led to spring training lockouts instigated by the
owners and to player strikes in 1972, 1981, 1985, and 1994. An
important agreement in 1996 brought labor peace once again. The
future of player-management relations is also covered.
