For more than a century the owners of baseball franchises conducted
their business like feudal barons, with the players in the role of
serfs. This situation began to change in 1966, when the Major
League Baseball Players Association was formed and Marvin Miller,
who had been chief economist and assistant to the president of the
steelworkers' union, became its first executive director. Here he
recounts his experience in dealing with club owners and his success
in winning a new role for the players. He helped virtually end the
system that bound an athlete to one team forever, and thereby
raised salaries enormously. Candid in his assessments of the
characters involved in this drama, Mr. Miller is nonetheless
generous in his comments about the ballplayers who made sacrifices
for their union.
