Product Description
The first book to utilize the files, letters, and correspondence of the Major League Baseball Player's Association, The End of Baseball As We Knew It replays the much-storied transformation of power from management to players that set the standard for labor relations not just in baseball but in all professional sports. Charles P. Korr also draws on interviews with ballplayers, journalists, and labor executives to construct this insider's view of the most successful sports union's formative years.

This one caused me some trouble. I guess it was hard to read since I had found out so much about the Player's Union in other books. It was interesting to find out exactly what happened, but it was too much in the end and I really just did not care anymore. I fell asleep sometimes and missed sections, but if you are into this sort of thing, I would say go for it.

Baseball Almanac ... nearly exclusively refers to this guide as a source to assist others who have questions about the Players Union. Worth it to any baseball fan interested in learning more about the history of the Baseball Players Association and their conflicts with Major League Baseball.
