SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"To most Americans, baseball is just a sport; but to those who own baseball teams - and those who play on them - our national pastime is much more than a game. In this book, Robert Burk traces the turbulent labor history of American baseball since 1921. His account details the many battles between owners and players that irrevocably altered the business of baseball."--Jacket.
