Marvin Miller Discusses the Baseball Players' Union.
Marvin Miller. He was the first executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association when it was formed in 1966. He was executive director until 1983. To some, he's the man responsible for the dramatic increase in player's salaries, and for ending the system that bound an athlete to one team forever. To others, he's the man who depreciated the value of teams and made millionaires out of players. His book is "A Whole Different Ball Game," (REBROADCAST. ORIGINALLY AIRED 6/27/91).
