![A Whole Different Ball Game: The Inside Story of the Baseball Revolution by [Miller, Marvin]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51TXu4XqtXL._SY346_.jpg)
Excellent read. I was reasonably well informed about MLB labor wars. However, I learned a lot from this book. Marvin Miller confirms what I have known for years; that it wasn't Curt Flood that changed baseball. He played a part, but he lost his appeal.
The real story is Miller himself. He is the one who delivered, 40-50 years ago. He changed baseball, and eventually all pro sports, forever. Should be in the Hall of Fame.
From Publishers Weekly
Executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association from 1966 to 1983, Miller engineered tremendous new freedoms and fortunes for baseball's athletes. Here he pays tribute to himself, but also to the players who made sacrifices for their union. A top sports book. Photos.
