商品簡介
A Whole Different Ball Game recounts Miller's 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 and brought explosive changes that rocked the foundation of professional sports. Miller relates these events as no one else can, and he explains why the victories of the players' union were good for baseball. Along the way he provides dramatic portraits of prominent players, owners, baseball writers, arbitrators, and commissioners. With 8 pages of black-and-white photographs.
