Today, we remember a man who changed the game forever. Thank you, Marvin.
Working with Marvin was one of the highlights of my career, and I was honored to call him a friend. A great storyteller. If you REALLY want to learn about baseball, try to find a copy of his book: "A Whole Different Ball Game."
I am reading his book A Whole Different Ball Game. A fascinating read and a history lesson for all of us who represent labor unions.
A man who inspired and educated a movement
Remembering this great man is entirely appropriate. He transformed the lives of the players by outsmarting the smug, greedy owners. His legacy is carried on today, especially amongst Minor League players, under great leadership at the MLBPA.
