Marvin Miller

Wikipedia - "Marvin Julian Miller (born April 14, 1917, in The Bronx, New York City) is a former executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), from 1966 to 1982. Under Miller's direction, the players' union was transformed into one of the strongest unions in the United States. In 1992, Red Barber said, 'Marvin Miller, along with Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson, is one of the two or three most important men in baseball history.' Miller, a labor economist, started his work career at the National War Labor Relations Board, and then moved on to the Machinist Union and the United Auto Workers. Finally, he worked his way up the United Steelworkers union to become its leading economist and negotiator. In the spring of 1966, Miller visited Spring Training camps in an effort to get selected as executive director of the MLBPA. He closely followed the joint holdout of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale."
